Oshawa Centre, Transit gaining popularity:a re]port <The Whitby Transit Service experienced a 36 per cer)t growth in fares for the last haîf of 1983 over the same period in 1982. In a report to Whitby Town Council, public works cirector Dick Kuwahara said that between July 1 and December, 1983 the local public transpor- tation earned $40,690. During the same period of 1982t,'the service ear- ned $29,870. However, 15 per cent of the revenue growth has been attributed a fare increase that was leveid at the end of August, 1983. Kuwahara noted that the fare increase "did flot seem to adversely affect ridership.

During the March spring break week, the transit service took in $1,327. Kuwarhara added that these figures are slightly misleading because many aduits also are off froni work during this week and students used the ser- vice for other activities. The four new buses that the town last fal operating "extremely well", Kuwarhara ipeported noting that they provide enchanced comfort to the ridership and because of their tin- ted windows, should be cooler during the sum- mer months. By the end of the year, the public works depar- tment will ereet five new bus shelters, bringing the total num- ber in the town to 16. The shelters will be erected in front of the Blair Park Plaza on Lypin Drive; in front of the fire hall in down- town core; at Ken- dalwood Rd. and Dun- das St.; Brock St. and Manning Rd.; and, at Garrard Rd. and Gad- sby Dr. Kuwahara said that the discontinuance of Thursday evening ser- vice has not produced many comrplaints and that an acceptable response has been received to the expan- 4~Ç * o- o' c-' -~ ded Saturday service. Buses riow run between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturdays. ' There is an overal indication that the ridership is increasing and at a fairly steady pace,"l Kuwahara said adding that another rider survey will be conducted this Septem- ber. The last one was done in June, 1983. "Ail-mn-ail, the transit service is progressing quite well," Kuwahara said in his report, "Revenue increases in- diecte that more and more people are accep- ting the transit alter- native and 1 are becoming accustomed to our service." <Complaints, he con- cluded, are minimal. Those received are related to the tardiness of buses on Thursday and Friday evenings. Buses, he noted, tend to mun slightly behind schedule during these limes because of the heavier traffic flow throughout the town. 112 auxiliary's April repu By MARJORIE ADAMS Ladies' Auxillary Branch 112 The Ladies' Auxiliary R.,oyal Canadian Legion, Branch 112, Whitby, en- joyed a very busy and' sueccessful month. of April.
