"I thmnk at some point we have to look at the whole system. There'a no question it'sdraining our resources,» Drumm toid Town council last week. "At some pit in time very soon w. should go over it. We're giving a Cadiliac service that's not needed.» Drumm's commentea were prompted by counicii'a decision to eut back Saturday bus service. Effective July 7, four of six routes between 8 a.xn. and 7 p.m. will run at 60 -minute intervals rather than 30 minutes. The. other two routes, -serv 13rock- St. and Dundas St.,wif remain at 30-minute service. Accorcing te a staff reportthe. change je expected to save the Town $800 each Saturday. However, Drumm complained that council was mereiy «ciiop- p ing at the bus service m a. piecemeai» fashion in order to make it more profitable. «It bringa into focus theJro~ biema we're having," a ided Drumm.
