I've suggested before that the Slocal ierra Club should form a
"transportation committee" to tackle issues like this. But we need bodies.
Anyone interested? 

People interested in this issue should also consider joining Transport
2000 Atlantic, an excellent local grass roots group.

BYE-BYE BUSES?: Last Tuesday, council voted not to reduce service on
numerous bus routes in a cost-cutting venture. Now, a Metro Transit manager
is warning council that deciding not to reduce service on some bus routes
could mean eliminating others altogether. In his report to council released
yesterday, Brian Taylor suggested the 83 Springfield, 15 Purcell's Cove, 21
Timberlea and 55 Port Wallace bus routes might be on the chopping block,
leaving those communities with no service at all. DAILY NEWS, P3
