Of course, that won‘t solve the overâ€"all problem. With the rising cost of operating a private motor vehicle, and the increasing congestion in downtown. areas, public transit must be considered an important and viable alternative. The City has already agreed to study the transit problem in northeast Waterloo, but perhaps they should undertake an overâ€"all study. Waterioo Chronicle office is located on 2nd floor of the 0. W Sports building Waterioo Square Parking on King Street or in Waterioo Square. Open M FEnday 9:00 a.m to 5.00 p m Alderman Walter McLean raised another interesting problem. A full bus is a very rare sight in Waterloo. he said. Mayor Carroll added that a study done by Kitchener Transit showed that one out of 10 Waterloo residents rides the bus. Why not reduce bus service in an area where it‘s not being used, and provide the people in northeast Waterloo with the bus service they want so badly. But in order for public transit to be viable, it must be at least moderately efficient. Since ours is not, some in depth research is obviously called for. Other cities have efficient transit systems. It may be exâ€" pensive at first. but eventually it will be necessary. Whaâ€" tever the City decides to do about the problem in general residents in the northeast section deserve public transit. It‘s the responsibility of the City to provide essential services, especially when the residents in question are paying taxes. Taxes, after all. should entitle the resident to something besides headaches. Perhaps it‘s time the City undertook a complete study and revitalization of our public transit system. According to Mayor Marjorie Carroll, we‘re spending $675,000 on Waâ€" terloo‘s share of Kitchener Transit‘s bill. It seems the transit system in this city is a mess mildly.
