4 The Canadian St atesman, Bowmanville, Novemrber 3, 1976 Section Two Chacrte--rways Provides ,Wide Range, of Service Bjey-ond Sehool .Bus ing" Like most companies, Charterways Transportation started off modestly enough. Back in 1958, it obtained a contract to operate 12 school buses for the London School Board in Western Ontario. In less than 20 years, the company has expanded in size to the point where it now controls a fleet of 1100 school buses and 70 highway coaches at 17 separate bases across the province. These were just a few of the facts whîch Archie Groth shared with fellow members of the Bowmanville Rotary Club during his classification talk on Thursday. As the manager of Charter- ways here in Bowmanville, Mr. Groth explained that his company isnot strictly limited to transporting students to and from school, though that is its prime function locally. In addition, Charterways conducts ail-inclusive bus tours throughout North James Insurance Agency%, Limited 24 Ki ng St. E. Bowmanville For al1 your insuranCe needs Nesta Ake'y or Doug James at BOWA Ask CALL 'US TODAY America under the name Canada Tours, which vary in duration from seven to 28 days and cover such distant points as Florida, Alaska, Mexico, California and the Maritimes. The company also operates the bus shuttle systema called Air Terminal Transport, which includes regular ser- vice between the Toronto airport and downtown Toronto and Hamilton. Charterways also, provides air package vacations to Florida and Las Vegas, which is not the first timne the company has ventured into air transport. Until 1974, it owned 60 helicopters based north of Toronto on Highway 400, but sold its fleet to a Vancouver business. According to Mr. Groth, Charterways is regarded as a progressive company in esta- blishing new markets for the bus industry. On September lst this year, Charterways inaugurated its "Execubus Service" between bondon and Toronto, a fore- runner of what may become a widely used means of inter- city travel in the near future. As Mr. Groth described it, the Execubus is a standard 47 seat vehicle which has been altered completely to accom- modate 28 passengers, allow- ing for ample space to make bus travel a luxury. As well as the, driver, there is a hostess on board, and both breakfast and evening meals are served. Since it started last month, Charterways bas. rec'eived many inquiries about the new service. The Ministry of Transportation and Communi- cations sees it as the type of transportation which will fila void between major centres that are approximately 100 to 150 miles apart. Mr. Groth added that the management at Charterways agrees that the Execubus would be a suitable replace- ment for air and automobile travel between cities within 100-125 miles of each other. Busing ln Bowmanville The school bus service that Charterways provides in and around Bowmanville is more sophisticated than you might think. The 63 school routes (including kindergarten and late runs) use 48 buses daily to transport approximately'3000 students. "In the operation of our business," Mr. Groth stated, "ýwe are contracted to the Northumberland and New- castle Board of Education ... and travel as far west as the Oshawa town line, east as far MONEY ON vsý QUALITY DX PR E MIU M FUEL OIL and STOVE OIL M~ANVILLE CUSTOMERS iCALL COLLECT iOperator for 668-3381 or Dial 1-668-3381 D X FOuE L ç'O 1L FOR PROMPT, COURTEOUS SERVICE THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN 0F N EWCASTL E Notice, of Highway Closing TA KE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Newcastle, at a Council meeting ta be held at the Council Chambers, Police Building, Bowman- ville, Ontario, on Monday the 1Sth day of November 1976, at the hour of 1 o'cîock in the noon, proposes to pass a by-law ta stop up and close part of Lot 20 in the lOth Concession of tIhe Town of Newcastle (formerly Township of Darlington) designated as Part 3 on Reference Plan 10R-550, and ,more particularly described as follows.

The school routes, are set up by the board through ,a computer which gets its in- formation from the schools, and Charterways cannot change a route without notify- ing the board. Even then, there has to be a sound excuse such as cutting expenses. Charterways is also contract- ed to the Peterborough- Victoria board, so that it can provide service to St.Joseph's School in Bowmanville. The local Charterways branch also operates one bus for the Simcoe Hall Crippled Chul- dren's School in Oshawa, and this vehicle is equipped with a lift hoist on the back for wheel chairs. As Mr. Groth pointed out, Charterways employees get an early start in the morning. "In the daily operation, we are at work by 7 a.m. at the latest. During the winter months, we could be there as early as 4 arn. depending on Mother Nature and sub-zero tempera- tures. " He explained that the reason f6rthe early start is simply to give the buses time to warm up in the yard. For those drivers who keep their ve- hicles at home, block heaters are installed to ensure an easier start even on the coldest days. On snowy mornings, it's up to the bus operator to decide whether or not to caîl off school runs, and Mr. Groth has to depend partly on hearsay to make his decision. He contacts the road depart- ment to find out what condi- tions are like in the northern areas, and follows up with calîs to the O.P.P. and drivers Business Directory Accountancy WM. J. H.

If a decision is made to close down, Charterways then relays the message to radio stations for sehool bus cancel- lation announcements, and then proceeds to cail the drivers and the school board. Mr. Groth stressed that safety is the main factor taken into consideration in the cancellation of buses.
