Wednesday, April 15, 1970 The Rest Haven Bus Since commencement of the Resthaven Drive public ‘works projects, the bus service extension to North Sidney and Rest Haven Hospital has been uncertain and unreliable. Last week, suddenly, it was completely with- drawn. f %* 1 é ee a : : . oe fC BD a —_ in wee 3g are 0% ~ # - Pate ab - fs) e A PASS : no as ‘ ‘ eo yt yen i? f ~ ot According to a traffic department spokesman of Vancouver Island Coach'Lines, the service could not be continued because it had proved impossible to com- municate with the authorities when the road was blocked without notice. pein NEWS PAPERS. ‘HERE IT SPEND A SMALL Fo THE WILDERNESS -- AND IT'S No DIFFERENT FROM RUTH ENKE VIEWS There had. been no response to the Company’s ap- "proaches: either. by the municipality, the . project]. engineers or the contractor carrying out the work. This, it was said, is an unheard of situation because in- - variably. there are discussions about alternate routes “when road works interfering with the normal traffic pattern are planned. - Completely frustrated, the Company advertised with- drawal of the service to Rest Haven in last week’s Review. Immediately the cat was amongst the pigeons. - As a result there were hurried contacts and con- ‘sultations. Quite reasonably, a devious but satisfactory alternate route for the period Resthaven Drive is ob-| structed. has been agreed and is now advertised. . -For weeks past conditions. under which drivers have laboured have been lamentable. Sometimes the driver |: . would. find a way around obstacles, at other times his | ~ progress was barred and he would retreat - defeated. In . either case the schedule went out of the window and _ those j journeys that were completed were a minimum of AS minutes late, said the Sidney Bus Depot manager. . Appointments with doctors have been lost, ‘Upisland : sonnections i in Victoria have been missed, and workmen |: have lost as much as a day’s work and have stormed into the bus ‘depot breathing acid comments. Rest Haven lospital frequently has. been virtually. inaccessible to} aan on ‘the remunerative routes to » Vancouver and. Up Island, the public. transport ‘passenger’. to- -day. is “paying: inflated fares ‘for severely. curtailed services. -. Reduced schedules both on the Sidney and West Saanich. routes to Victoria are cases in point, while recently _. there has been: complete withdrawal of the Brentwood and Deep Cove link with Sidney. — It therefore is the business of municipal authorities to| Le protect those services that remain,‘and facilitate their Ae continuance by. all’ the means. in, their power. rae: Files of the Reviow. .
