Postal Service Wants to Close Thousands of Offices

The US Postal Service plans to cut costs by closing more post offices. Beginning in March, the agency will start closing as many as 2,000 post offices in addition to the nearly 500 post offices it said it would close last year. The Postal Service also says it is reviewing another 16,000 that are losing money. It is lobbying Congress to let it close the most unprofitable ones.

Communities that lose post offices would still get deliveries, but people will have to drive to the next town to keep P.O. boxes and use other services.
