n defence
of Doug

Dear Editor:

I strongly object to the attack on the integrity of Doug Collins by

one Huseyni.

Collins is a fighter, not a runner, He fought with distinction during
the 39-45 war and, if today Doug as a Kurd. Sikh or Whatever with a
belief, he would be there fighting for his belief and not writing letters

to the editor of a foreign newspaper.

OPEN LETTER
TO B.C. TRANSIT

I am writing to register a very
strong complaint about the bus
service from Vancouver to Upper
Lonsdale.

Today, after a morning shopp-
ing, I caught the No. 240 bus from
downtown at 12:22 p.m. Accor-
ding to the bus schedule this
should have arrived at 15th Street
and Lonsdale at 12:52 p.m., giving
me three minuies to catch the No.
230 hus scheduled to leave 15th
and Lonsdal at 12:55.

When the No. 240 bus arrived at
15th and Lonsdale there was an
Upper Lonsdale bus standing at
the northbound bus stop.

Together with two other passen-
gers I ran across the road to catch
this bus — only to see it pull away
just as we got there, leaving us

with a 30-minute wait for the next
bus.

The driver of the No. 230 bus
obviously knew that the No, 240
bus was there, and almost certainly
saw three people running to catch
his bus. His action showed a com-
plete disregard for the comfort or
convenience of the travelling
public.

This is by no means the first

time this has happened to me and.

others. 1 would appreciate your
comments, together with an
assurance that steps will be taken
to ensure that Upper Lonsdale res-
idents who attempt to return from
Vancouver by bus wil! not find it
such a tedious, inconvenient and
exhausting process as | found it
today.
