A bus service would be marvelous, However, getting down to the nitty-gritty, somewhere along the way, financing would have to be considered. Whitby is huge - Ashbuùrn, Myrtle, Brooklin the Corridor and Whitby ýproper, plus downtownà, - a great number of buses would bé required to successfully service ail areas. The exp erimental bus service, implemented a couple of years ago, was a total flop. Few people took a dvantage of the sevice. t has been argued that summer was flot the proper time to experiment. However, faîl or winter would probably have showin poorer results. People are used to comfort, and standing in the ramn or clodi to catch a bus is anything but comfortable. Far easier to obtain a more personnal transpor- tation or:stay at home. Bus'service would be great if it passed by every door. However, most Whitby roads are in such. a deplorable condition that buses wouldn't last more than twice around the block. Roads wouldeither have to be repaired or mechanics would berequired by the gross. To make a transportation service profitable passengers are needed to f ii the bus. Are there sufficient persons in Whîtby in dire need of public transportation to warrant sucli a service? A door-to-door can'Qas in ahl areas would deterin-e the nieed. Has this been done, or has any survey been taken? 0f ail the persons I have spoken with thissummer,, no. one has yet been asked if they wish a bus service. It's our money Council will be spending.. Maybe a plebiscite in the November election would help our elected members' to fulfili the wishes of the One of these days the middle fincome people, now financing the minority and at the same time providing the profit for the more fortunate, are goingto get fed ûp. After ail it's fot really fun rising at, 5:30 a.m.-each morning and working laIl day in, order to have the privilege 'of puyingfor a ýbus service for someone else's enjoyment. People can only be pushed so far andat some point they just may rebel. Persons, elderly or handicapped do, need some form of transportation. Would a public bus service be of any use to this segment" of our population? Senior 'citizens who are-now maintaining their own homes would find the extra tax burden extre.nely trying. Ashburn, Myrtle, Brooklin and the sur- rounding areas would also deserve a service as adequate as the downtown core. Being realistic, an adequate bus service for ahl Whitby could cost up to $8.00 per person per ride.
