Ohio Rd. 884-4521 FRIDAY Gormley resident Dr. Gerry Gold, who used the bus service told The Liberal, six to seven residents depend on this one bus to ride to Toronto each day. The town engineering administrator said he was informed this Travelways bus could not go into Gormley and back (a distance of one mile) because of timing â€" their schedule is too tight for a 15-minute delay. Mr. Newton also ap- proached Travelways about detouring a bus which travels from Orillia to Toronto via Don Mills Road. show approximately three riders use the service each day. The fact there is not a suitable place for the bus to turn around on such a trip is another deterrent to Travelways, said Mr. Newton.

SATURDAY their ridership on Don Mills Road gets on south of Gormley Sideijoad. Travelways did say they would look into making a slight detour into the Gormley Post Office drive, about 500 feet, to be used as a meeting spot for Gormley residents. When advised of this suggestion Ann Gold remarked, “It‘s ridiculous", the Gormley passengers then somehow have to find a way to travel the mile to meet the bus. 'She suggested GO Transit could direct one of the buses travelling from either Newmarket or Aurora to the Finch Station to cross the Gormley Sideroad to pick up any passengers. Mrs. Gold said she feels it is incumbent for GO Transit or the municipality to provide transportation facilities to all residents of Rich- mond Hill. Mr. Newton said his final alternative will be to check into the cost of running a town bus to Gormley twice each day to serve these seven residents. Saturday
