Dear Editor:
re: Riders says bus changes hurt Metrotown seniors, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 18
Based on the comments from the TransLink spokeperson Chris Bryan that your article has reported, there is now no doubt in my mind that the seniors and all the other residents in my area who depend on bus service from TransLink have been traded off!
I am definitely not one of those 1,100 plus residents that TransLink claimed to have consulted on the route change for bus 49. I can recall the consultation was on whether to move the bus terminal from the mall side to the SkyTrain side.
For TransLink to say that the residents in my area support not having any bus service from Metrotown along Willingdon is total nonsense.
Adopting the low-floor shuttles over the next two years also fails to provide a solution to the problem we seniors are facing now!
