EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - Folks who call the number listed in the phone book for the Madison County Transit District hear a woman breathlessly explaining, ''You need it bad, and we've got it good.'' She's not talking about the bus schedule. The number listed for the transit district in Ameritech's 1998-99 phone book was given up more than a decade ago. It is now is used by a X-rated 900-number. Nobody seems to know how the mixup happened. ''I'm not sure we will ever know where the breakdown occurred,'' Ameritech spokesman Ron Lanesey said Tuesday. Transit Director Jerry Kane said he learned about the problem when a woman called to report a tree had fallen on a bike trail. ''She said she thought I would be shocked if I checked that number,'' he said. The mixup will be corrected before the next phone book comes out in December, Lanesey said. |
