PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, August 17, 1999 - 3 "A Family Tradition for 133 Years" New GO schedule to begin in Sept. "On our current sched- ule, the last bus to Port Perry from Toronto leaves Union Station at 5:53 p.m. Our new service will leave at 8:13 p.m. from Union Station and arrive in Port Perry at 9:49 p.m.. The new schedule will begin on Sept. 7; the late bus will run only as far as Port Perry and only on weekdays. "We were able to add the extra bus without any problems and within our existing budget. It was presented to the board by our bus operations people and was approved. "People these days are working a lot of different hours and are staying in the city longer. They may want, or need, to stay at the office a little bit longer and this extra bus gives them that opportunity." Also during last Friday's meeting (Aug. 13), the board was informed that GO Transit busses in Port Perry had an average of 120 riders; GO officials had projected an average of 75 riders per day in two years. "The Port Perry route is doing very well; it is the best performing route of the new ones we intro- duced on Jan. 2 of this year in fact. That route has far exceeded our pro- jections." A one-way ticket to Toronto from Port Perry costs $7.55; 10-ride tickets -- a work-week package -- is available at any GO Transit station for $68.25.
