WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1981, PAGE 9 Corridor wiLling to give up transit system for school buses According to the president of the Corridor Area Ratepayers Association, most residents of the area are willing to forgo municipal transit service in order to get school buses back in operation. Last week, Homer Pilgrims said that Corridor residents want the school bus service restored "even if they take Whitby buses out of the east ward." Sometime early this year, representatives of the association will ask Whitby Town Council to either cut baek or remove the service from the east end, he said. They will also petition the Durham Board of Education to reinstate their service to the area. Last October, a meeting of the association voted unanimously to approach both the council and the board to get school bus ser- vice reinstated. At the beginning of the present school year, the board dropped their bus ser- vice to students south of Rossland Road in accordan- ce with a board policy that does not provide for such a service in areas where the municipality provides an "adequate" public transpor- tation service. According to Pilgrims, many Corridor residents believe that the service provided by the town is inadequate. He added that parents are disturbed because they must pay to send their high school age children to school while paying the same amound of education property taxes as they did when the board provided the transportation. Another complaint that has been voiced by the parents is that their children have to be out on the street waiting for the bus at an in- convenient time. The group is presently working on a plan that will bring back the school buses while allowing municipal transit for senior citizens.
