Mayor Drew Dilkens recently vetoed a city council decision to keep the tunnel bus rolling.

A petition to save the service on change.org had more than 4,300 signatures as of Thursday .

Dilkens' decision to veto council’s decision sparked criticism from union and transit advocates.

Transit Windsor has roughly 300 unionized members.

A small fraction of the riders are American , a fact that Sforza said shows the service has not been properly promoted.

City officials said they are looking into how much, if it all, the tunnel bus is promoted to Americans .

The city said the sick days are only a cost if employees use them.

City council expected to discuss a possible veto override next week .
