SCHOOL BUS FARE LIMITS BINDING, GEORGE TOLD "SHADES of my own youth," sighed George aa he read. . this letter from Starr Randall, 842 Browning ave., and recalled re-called times when he himself had been frustrated in his at- tempts to use a student bus ticket after the dead line: "Dear George," student Randall wrote, "your column is swell, and usually gets results, re-sults, so I am sending you my complaint. "As I was getting on a bus to come home from school one day recently, about 4 :40 p.m., the conductor told me my student stu-dent ticket was no good. I realize that the time limit on student tickets is during dur-ing the hours of 7:30 to 4:30 pjn., but when a student is delayed at school, because be-cause of a special project or activity, shouldn't his ticket be honored after 4:30 p.m.?" George APPARENTLY NOT, Starr. Salt Lake City Lines officials, when they were asked about this, told George that the time limit was set during the war years, by authority of the Utah public service commission, com-mission, and must be strictly observed by bus employes. The 4:30 limit allows students to reach their homes after the school day well in advance of the evening rush hour, when buses are loaded to capacity with shoppers and business busi-ness people going home fom work. Winter months, especially, especial-ly, are hard on the bus lines, and setting a time limit on the time for students to pile on the buses has proved to be a great help In facilitating late afternoon traffic ADDRESS questions, complaints and suggestions to George, In care of The Telegram, 143 S.
