The Town of Richmond Hill decided to retain the service and rather than increase the fare they subsidized the system. Travelways operates the service and maintains the vehicles for GO Transit. Richmond Hill. Vaughan and Markham Municipal Transit plays only a small part in the overall operation as 65 per cent of this bus company‘s business comes from school bus transit. In conjunction with the tour part of the company, Travelwais‘ is putting on a promotion for Richmond Hill Transit offering a four day tour to Nashville to celebrate the millionth fare box alone The Bayview Avenue bus service was taken over by GO transit at the same time. Approximately 100,000 children are carried on Travelways school buses each day. said We Webster, president of Travelways Limited.

Travelways is actively marketing their tour program in Canada throughout Europe, offering visitors enticing packages to Canada. Last year volume was in excess of $1 million representing 1,000 European passengers. Travelways also hooked up with a company in Texas and put in a proposal for a transit system for the whole of Saudi Arabia. Mr. Webster sees this move as having the potential of establishing a national bus Company‘ The facl the company is progressive in its thinking is evidenced by two moves across the ocean. This new ownership associates Travelways with a western Canada bus company called Grey Goose Coachlines. rider on the transit system This tour offers modern air con- diiioned coach, two nights first class accommodation in Nashville. reserved seats at the Grand Ole ()pry. and a tour of Nashville.

Traffic lights may be synchronized on Yonge Street It took world-wide awareness of energy conservation to move the Town of Richmond Hill into working toward sychmnizing traffic lights in the centre of town. There are eight signalized intersections on Yonge Street between Major Mackenzie Drive and Elgin Mills Road set so a car travelling South. at or slightly under the speed limit, can theoretically go the entire distance without stopping, said Consequently Mr. Perkins suggests a traffic study by ex- perts and possibly the purchasing of a mini computer to coordinate signals.
