Pain Street, I South Bend, Indiana. _ Gentlemen: I� , Complying with your request to advise your Board relative to our position in connection with proper treatment toward those whose patronage we enjoy, we wish to advise that a gread deal of time and effort is given in directing the • employees of the Northern Indiana Transit, Inc., to give courteous, efficient and appreciative service to our patrons, and also to show a similar service to 'all with khom they may come in contact. At the time of employ- er_t they are informed they must not accept employment of this nature unless they like people and enjoy associating with and working among others. Their principal asset in this work is their ability to get along with folks and serve them as their patronage justifies. i The principal objectives given them are the safe operation of the coach and the courteous treatment of their patrons. • These instructions are given by word of mouth and moving pictures. While there may be some failure we believe gener- ally our employees pretty much adhere to the plans for them to follow. When there are failures, if we could be advised of same they could be corrected with the operator at fault as it is rather difficult to locate the guilty on general complaint. We assure you that every effort is being made to provide this community with the type of transportation that is a credit to the community and to the company that provides it. We always welcome information from our patrons as to the treatment they receive from our drivers - if it is good • we commend the driver - if it is bad we endeavor to correct the f a.ul t/ Respectfully submitted, NORTHERN INDIANA TRANSIT, Inc. s/ W.
