"I desire to bring to,your attention a condition which effects many patrons who
ride the city busses.
I notice nearly 1/3 of these people have to stand after paying their fare-, due to
lack of seating space.
Why do you not insist the Bus Transportation Company put on larger busses
or run extra busses. We are entitled to a seat when we pay to ride.
Another thing I wish to bring to your attention is this: There are no rear
signs on these busses and passengers are forced to go to the front to find
the name of the streets they traverse.
