Subsidies mean better bus service According to a representa- tive of Charterways Trans- portation Limited, Whitby resdients won't get better bus service until the tax- payers subsidize the -opera- tion. Traffic -Manager 'Dave Gaze recenitly told couneil's operationis committee that Charterways can carry pas- sengers from Oshawa and Bowmanville to Whitby, but 40 per cent of its passengers board and disembark within Whitby. R1e suggested the town should have its own internai transit service and his com- pany would be willing to set it up if the town helps to pay for it. Mr. 'Gaze reJected the town's request to extend the route to the western part of Whitby from te Four Corners because the com- pany is losing money on its Hazelwood is rebuilt Council bas accepted the, 10w tender of $77,735 froni Bennett Paving and Materi- ais Limited to reconstruct Hazeiwood Drive north from Manning Road. Development levies from Westdale Estates wiil cover a large portion of the cost, says town Treasurer Forbes McEwen. The ruad was broken up during the winter for the laying of pipes into the Westdale subdivision. A sidewalk wilI be con- structed on the nortit aide of Dundas Street froni Bowman Avenue to Thickson. Road as part of-the contract. present operation. The com- mittee received the sanie answer to a question about running buses to Brooklin. Coundillor Joy Thompson suggested an internai experi- mental route should be tried during the peak months of October and November in- stead of during the summer as 'it' was in 1976.
