PAGE 14, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1981, WIIITBY FREF PRESS Report may pave way for an expanded bus service A recent report on the Whitby Transit Service may provide the basis on which to expand the system according to Mayor Bob Attersley. A report from public works director Dick Kuwahara showed that during the week of Oc- tober 26 to 30 there were 4,481 passengers using the system. These passengers in- cluded 1,414 adults, 2,824 students and 243 children. These figures showed a marked increase over the same Deriod in January when the ser- vice had 3,619 passengers including 882 adults, 2,612 stu- dents and 125 children. Kuwahara's report also showed that the average daily revenue Grads Four local people were recently awarded degrees in a convoca- tion held by Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo. Carmen M.

"I was cer- tainly pleased with that report." In fact, the mayor said that the most sought after item by new Whitby residents visited by the Welcome Wagon was a copy of the bus schedule. Attersley, himself a long-time supporter of the service, said that council now has the basis to "build-up the service." "I'm sure the (public works) department will bring in recommenda- tions for the 1982 bud- get," he added. One thing that Atters- ley would like to see is a centralized bus depot somewhere in the down- town core. This depot would provide connec- tions between the town's service and GO Transit and Voyageur Colonial. "I think that would be the ultimate," he said. He also points out that the fare box revenues are now up to the point where they should be according to the Ontario Ministry of Transporta- tion and Communica- tions which provides a grant for the service equal to 25 per cent of its operating cost. Under MTC guide- lines, the farebox should provide an additional 25 per cent and the town the remaining 50 per cent. "We're up to where MTC thought we should be," Attersley said. The mayor also indi- cated that if the rider- ship levels continue to grow, he would support expanding the service into the evenings on Thursday and Friday and on Saturday. Attersley also said he would supoort having the buses operate on Saturdays during the December Christmas shopping season adding that council approval for such a move is needed. Council will not meet again until December 14. However, if approval for the additional ser- vice was given then, the buses could be available for the rest of the mon- th. Attersley is also confi- dent that as the town grows so will the rider- ship. "It will get bigger and bâtter as the population grows," he said. 8th Whitby Beavers District Beaver Commissioner Noreen Wild (left) is seen here swearing in some of the 24 boys who make up the 8th Whitby Beavers. Wild recently invested the new troop at a ceremony held at the Westminster United Church. Also invested during the ceremony were the troop's four leaders. Despite the fact that the troop is only some six weeks old, it is already filled to capacity. Beavers are part of the scouting movement for boys aged 5, 6 and 7. The 8th Whitby joins nine other Whitby and one Brooklin troop.
