To the editor:

This letter is in response to David Holroyd’s excellent letter to the editor on May 16. Well, David, as you suggested, here’s one retort, and hopefully Mike A. and David C. and the others you refer to take the Journal-World. I guarantee you they don’t take the bus. Who at the city does?

Since I’m over 60, I pay $17 a month to ride the bus. Charge me more! It’s not $3.50 a gallon. The bus is my lifeline, along with my bike, around Lawrence. I’ll gladly pay more. I’m sure others will also.

Hey, city commissioners, with financial expertise, quit building roundabouts. Save a couple of million a year and put it toward the T, the ultimate traffic control device. Might make cents – which become dollars. Ask Mr. Buffett.

Dennis Barritt,
Lawrence
