WATERLOO - Like almost all Waterloo seniors, Harley For- den doesn't ride Grand River Transit. You have to walk too far. It takes too long. It takes his friend up to an hour to ride a bus to their daily snooker game. "He doesn't like it. We don't like it. The time gets longer. That's a terrible disadvantage," Forden said. Driving is faster and more convenient. But at 86, Forden knows he can't drive forever. Thinking ahead, he joined with other seniors to learn about public transit. "I see my time coming when my licence is going to be re- voked," he said. Tuesday's ride-a-bus train- ing drew 30 seniors. Some al- ready ride transit. Some are cu- rious. Some are planning for when their car keys are taken from them. They toured Waterloo by bus LOCAL WATERLOO SENIORS ASK - WILL TRANSIT WORK FOR ME WHEN I CAN'T DRIVE?
