“It’s kind of frustrating
when you're trying to catch a
seven o'clock run in the
morning,” he said. “It does-
n’t happen very often.”

Marge Buchanan's enthu-
siasm for B.C. og
Transit’s service bub-
bles over.

The Deep Cove
resident frequently
takes the bus to Park
Royal.

“We've got an
excellent service,” she
said. “We’re really
happy.”

Buchanan was by
far the most effusive
inher praise of the
system, but others
capped their com-
plaints: with encourag-
ing, words.

Sara Ferguson, a student,
takes transit from Westlynn to
Capilano. The Westlynn bus
is never on time, she said.

“It’s not a big deal
though. It’s a pretty good ser-
vice.”

Babysitter Joyce Regalado
takes the bus from her Indian
River home to Phibbs to
Westlynn

Regalado said she sticks to
the schedule, but the buses
don’t. They leave early or
late, stranding her at the bus
stop for up to 15 minutes.

“It’s OK. I just hope it will
be improved,” she said.

Andreas Winkler, =a
Capilano College student,
says she would like more
buses going to Seymour at
night. She Said she often has

service, but say some areas could be improved.

to wait for the bus to her
Deep Cove home in the
evening at Phibbs Exchange.

Although there are other
people around at that time of
night, she doesn’t feel safe.

Judy Bergstrand said she
wants more 290 buses, which
travel directly from Deep
Cove to downtown
Vancouver. She said the
twice-in-the-morning, twice-
at-night schedule isn’t
enough

Cap College student Jaini
Powers simgly said “it's excel-

lent” when describing B.C.
Transit. From her Lonsdale
home to Capilano, the con-
nections are good and the
waiting time is five minutes at
most, she said.

Also impressed by the local
bus service is Yuki Kitsuyama,
a Japanese student living in
Seymour who travels down-
town five days a weck to his
English lessons.

He catches the 211 in
Deep Cove. Even if he's a lit-
de late, the bus will wait for
him and never drives by

. B.C. Transit customers at Phibbs Exchange can ve with the Crown corporation's

because it is too full of pas-
sengers, he said.

Peggy George travels
downtown from Deep Cove
for work. The service is good,
she said, adding that buses
never leave her stranded at
the stop.
