12,500 British pounds (equi-

The task force recently set
up by . West Vancouver
council to examine ways of
improving public transit in
the municipality wants to
hear the views of West Van

residents on two proposals |
that have emerged to date. -

One relates to. the possi-
bility of using ‘‘mini-buses”’
to feed the reguiar Biue Bus
routes. Minibuses are small .
passenger. vehicles with a
10-16. passenger capacity,
which would operate on fixed

‘routes in selected neighbor-.
hoods, with transfers to the
Blue Bus system at selected

_ points included in the cost of
the. ticket, -

Hall,

- The. second’ suggestion is

for a system of ‘ ‘personalized
public — transit,’
shared taxi rides. with
savings depending on the
number of passengers car-
ried at any one time.

Both systems could be
operated on scheduled routes
or..on a subscription basis,

allowing individuals to. be.

picked up at a given time
each day from their homes. |

Residents with opinioris or

information on either of the
two systems should write to
