This is a letter I «am

their bikes over flower beds,

Dear Editor:

I refer to Jean McLeod's
letter about SeaBus fares as
printed in your column
Wednesday April 11/84.

1 believe we should look at
this issue from a different
perspective because Jean
McLeod obviously doesn’t
recognize a good deal when
she sees one.

No bus passes near to my
job in Vancouver so I must
drive my car across Lions
Gate Bridge every day. Using
the accepted 18 cents per km
for wear and tear, the 15 km

sensationalized journalism in
the midst of their grief. Such
a materialistic comparison
does not reflect the beliefs
and sentiments of those of
us who knew and loved
