PROPOSED NEW BUS ROUTES - (Continued) <br /> <br />" At first there was a noticeable improvement of bus operation, <br />especially in the lower bus fare. But gradually there was a <br />return to the old way of operation, by this I mean it seems each <br />bus line operated on it's own schedule. There has been very <br />little attempt to coordinate the bus schedule. As was announced <br />with the new schedule when the City took over the Bus Lines, all <br />busses would meet at 15 minutes to the hour and 15 minutes after <br />the hour at the corner of 4th. and Broadway. This would have been <br />an excellent system if your bus drivers would have held to this <br />previous arrangement. I well understand there would be times- <br />when there was an unfortunate breakdown or other reasons where <br />this might be impossible. <br /> <br />" But Sir: I mean when you have the Number 3 Line that seems <br />to operate on it"s very own schedule, and at times being 15 or 20 <br />minutes late in getting to 4th. and Broadway. Then this situation <br />has happened to me like on Friday afternoon when arriving on the <br />No. 3 Line, the number 5 Line took off while we were only about <br />100 ft. away. This was clear stupidity, and this blunder left <br />three of us wating for another full half hour for the return of this <br />bus. <br /> <br />" I feel Sir, that under the circumstances it is a total waste of <br />money to buy any more new busses. If you can't operate the old <br />ones on a reasonable schedule, why waste the taxpayers hard <br />earned money on new equipment. It's not the equipment that needs <br />to be changed but the personal. Thank you Sir: <br /> <br />1401 So. Broadway, Apt. #2, <br />Santa Ana, Calif. 92707" <br /> <br />/s/ George A.

This <br />would be a great help to some elderly ladies who live in that <br />development. <br /> <br />"Please excuse my using this paper. <br />lay my hands on. <br /> <br />Best wishes, <br /> <br />It was the best I could <br /> <br />/s/ Lorraine B.
