Dear Editor,
[Re: History of transit parked in 91原创, 91原创 Advance Times, Jan. 11]
Thanks for the excellent article on bus history parked in 91原创.
It brought back a treasured childhood memory of the bus when my sister and I were growing up in Richmond.
At ages eight and 10 we used to ride the old BC Electric BRILL model buses on the #2-5 route.
In those days, the 鈥�60s, there were only two bus routes in all of Richmond. Both left Marpole in south Vancouver while one went up #2 Road, along Steveston Highway and down #5 Road and the other up #3 Road and down #4. Compared to today鈥� wow!
But what I remember the most was the old bus driver, Jim, who would stop the bus and get off with us and stop all traffic both ways on busy #2 Road until we were safely across the road. Service like that nowadays鈥� I鈥檓 afraid not鈥�
Love these articles that speak to our history. Thanks.
Jeff Laurie, Walnut Grove
