	DART Rider Guidelines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		DART (Dial A Ride Transit) is a flexible bus service that is designed to meet the diverse needs of the community it serves. DART will operate in the Eagle River/Chugiak area and in Southeast Anchorage. This hybrid service is set up to run a loop and provide transfer points with established People Mover routes.
		Remember, the DART operates in a loop, and may alter it’s routing to accommodate neighborhood collection and registered stop requests. This means the bus could arrive at your stop from a different direction. If this happens, simply wait for a safe time to cross the street and board the bus.
		DART is a curb to curb service in which the rider meets the vehicle at the sidewalk or other safe area determined by People Mover.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Special Reports \| Review: Dart by Alice Oswald
		Dart is "old Devonian for oak", and Oswald underlines its sacred associations by mutating "Flamen Dialis", the priest of Zeus, into "Flumen Dialis", his river.
		People are forever sifting the Dart or trying to harness its power: tin-extractors, millers washing their wool and making dyes, dairy workers using the water to cool their milk, not to mention its ecosystem of "round streamlined creatures born into vanishing".
		Dart frequently combines the two, moving in the same sentence from religious invocation to marketing jabber ("may He pull you out at Littlehempston, at the pumphouse, which is my patch, the world's largest operational Sirofloc plant").

		In Erwin's rig, the dart is the dropper and the flutter spoon is analogous to the point fly.
		The adhesion of the paint is fundamental: a shad dart relates to bedrock as a basketball relates to the floor.
		Now another June has arrived, and the river is low and therefore tight in the sense that fishermen on the two sides of the main current are not as far apart as they would be in times of high water.

		The River Dart flows through this magical region, starting life as a stream trickling through boggy mires before growing to leap down rocky waterfalls and rush between soft, green rolling hills, down to the sea at Dartmouth.
		Sweeping on towards Dartmouth, the river runs past Dittisham, an ancient village built on its banks, surrounded by woods and glorious countryside, where families return year after year for their children to learn to sail, or go crabbing from the dinghy pontoon or enjoy picnics on 'The Ham'.
		Sitting on the edge of Start Bay where the River Dart runs into the sea is the fishing village of Beesands, unchanged for any years, with local fishermen still hauling their boats off the beach.

	Cry of the Dart
		It has long been said that once a year the river Dart demands a human life and when it is ready for 'a heart' it will 'cry' out and summon its victim.
		The West Dart river rises at 1,780ft (542.5m) near Flat tor, and its moorland course is approximately 11.6 (18.6km) miles in length.
		The East Dart can only claim 10 tributaries but like the West Dart has 5 waterfalls of which 'The Waterfall' near Broadun is probably one of the most spectacular, especially when the river is in full spate or frozen.

		Not the river, actually (but, of course, also the river), but a walker, "An old man, fifty years a mountaineer" and the first of our voices.
