Dear Editor:
Yesterday as I was waiting for the buses that are expected to replace the 258 express bus, should TransLink cancel the 258 express bus to UBC, I thought how effective the argument would be to maintain the 258 bus if the
TransLink officials were to stand beside me and the other shivering students in the cold, wet, windy weather waiting for one of three buses I had to take to get home.
For me the last straw was that which is usually a 41- to 45-minute ride was just under two hours.
All of us that work or attend UBC and take the 258 express bus believe that the proposed cancellation is an ill-advised idea that sends the wrong message to our students and the general public about how to deal with public transportation issues simply by discouraging people to use public transit.
My feet get cold just thinking about the idea.
