International Plaza to the Park
Royal Hotel.

North Shore Airporter president
Harry Chand said the decision to
move the service was made after
the Plaza chose to cut its share of
airporter funding by one third.

He added that the service has
lost well over $60,000 since it was
established in 1979.

“We broyght the airporter here
because the people of the North
Shore said they wanted it, but if
they do they should use it,’’ Chand
said.

He invited residents to make any
suggestions to his company regar-
ding the service, which currently
employs eight drivers.
