Re: Bus Schedules aid Addition to Barwise Route, servicing Sunnyside Heights Gentlemen: In a letter dated January 5, 1956, the Wichita City Lines, Inc., through their Transportation Superintendent, D. H. Leffard, subs» mitted certain schedules to the City Council for consideration. In these schedules, and at the end of each schedules is found the notation "No service on Sundays and holidays". This applies to each of the bus schedules despite the fact that this point was debated and decided upon some two and a half months ago. The bus company demands that all Sunday and holiday service be discontinued before they will institute service to Sunnyside Heights. This is in direct contravention of their agreement, and the representations to the City Council, as well as the committee appointed by the Council to study the transportation problem. So far as the Committee is concerned, we believe that the bus com- pany has wholly and totally failed to live up to the promises in regard to service in Sunnyside Heights, when they predicate the institution of such service on the abandonment of all Sunday and holiday bus service throughout the entirety of the city. Therefore, it is the recommendation of your committee that the schedules be approved, subject to the limitation that the Sunday and holiday service be continued under our present system.
