WHITBY FR EE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NIA RCI I 1, 1981, PAGE 5 Reader thankfulfor public transit Dear Sir: I am writing this long overdue letter in regar- ds to the Whitby Tran- sit System. As a regular customer of the new bus system I would like to express how pleased I am with it. In my nine rnonths of riding the buses I have found all of the bus drivers to go out of their way to be cour- teous, pleasant and always on time. My word to the com- plainers of.the transit system is that you are very fortunate to be able to afford a vehicle of your own (and for your children) to travel back and forth to work and school. But many people like myself are unable to pay for the expenses of owning a car including the initial cost, maintenance, in- surance and outrageous gas prices. The bus routes are now able to accom- modate a great number of people who work in Whitby (or must catch the GO Transit on Brock St. S.) and live on the boundary lines of the town. The only alternative that I myself would have if the buses were deleted is to either walk which would take ap- proximately 35 minutes, or catch the Goal is reached Highway 2 GO bus, pay approximately 2.5 times as much in fares as the Whitby system and then walk several more blocks to work, as the GO bus only stops at the main core of town. While at present I can catch the Whitby bus just a short walk from home and then be dropped off at the foot of my place of em- ployment. And that is what an effective tran- sit system is for. With the size of Whitby it is not just nice to have a regular bus system, it is a necessity. As in anything wor- thwhile, it must start small, learn from what it has, what will serve people the best, then Thank-you Dear Sir: On behalf of the Whitby Business Girls Curling Club Bonspiel Committee, I would like to express our sincere thanks and ap- preciation for your donation to our Bon- spiel this year. It is only with co- operation such as you have extended to us that makes our Bon- spiel a successful one. Once again, thank you for your support. develop and perfect in time. As you can see around you, Whitby is no longer a small community and will never become one again. I urge other regular customers to speak up and express their feelings before it's too late. Before you criticize - take a ride, talk to a few of the regular riders and see just where the buses can take you to. Sincerely Grateful for the Kendalwood Run, J. Brough Lloyd Street Whitby Yours truly, Shirley Wozniak Dear Sir: The 1980 Christmas Seal Campaign in Durham Region closed on February 7th, with a final contribution total of $86,160.55.
