[hisimp-chat] Citi 7

[Suejeeves at aol.com]

Dear all; surely the main point about this is that it is just the start of  
a gradual erosion of our C7 service. By cutting out a well-used section of 
the  route they will reduce passenger numbers and thenuse that as an excuse 
to slash  the service even more. I am fortunate in having a car so that I 
can use the Park  and Ride, but at very busy periods I used to park at the 
Baptist Chapel and  catch the C7 if I had a lot of shopping to get because I 
live a long walk from  the bus stop, and I know of other older people who do 
the same. At some time in  the future I will probably have to give up driving 
and as I live at the north  end of Histon I will be effectively abandoned 
by public transport, is this the  way we want to be heading? 
 
I am sure this proposal is just a cynical ploy to force reluctant  
passengers onto the guided bus; I am informed that not all guided buses will go  to 
Drummer Street but will stop at Queen Anne Terrace, hardly convenient for 
the  elderly or less mobile. We definitely need to mobilise opinion and make 
our  objections known, particularly with regard to lack of bus access to the  
Firs surgery.
