I fully agree with Dr. Michael Moreton’s letter (Sept. Advocate) regarding the poor bus services from Toronto to Lindsay and as such I have written many letters to GO Transit, TOK Coachlines and to our city council.

I have a challenged son and we relied on the bus service to get him from Oshawa to Lindsay to visit his mom for a week each month.

He lives in Oshawa with the help of support services and has been very reliant on bus services. There are many other people who are in need of reliable bus services due to school needs, medical needs, shopping and more.

I have suggested that GO Transit do a study as to the number of persons requiring its services to get them to work, school or hospitals  from the Lindsay area that would warrant regular transit service.

Not only would my son need a reliable bus to get him here to visit his mom, but I also could use this service for my own needs as I need the help of specialist care in Toronto and I do not drive much or far anymore.  

I encourage people with these same needs to write many letters to city council, to TOK and GO Transit and government departments to encourage more reliable bus service to Kawartha Lakes.
