      A
      public
      transit
      awareness
     
     
      campaign
      sponsored
      by
      UPEI,
      Active
     
     
      Living
      Alliance
      and
      Trius
      buses
      took
     
     
      place
      last
      week
      incorporating
      two
      trips
     
     
      from
      downtown
      Charlottetown
      to
      the
     
     
      University
      in
      the
      morning
      two
      trips
      from
     
     
      the
      University
      to
      downtown
      in
      the
     
     
      afternoon.
      The
      trial,
      which
      ran
      from
     
     
      February
      21*
      until
      the
      25"
      received
     
     
      much
      hype
      from
      The
      Guardian,
     
     
      however,
      turnout
      for
      the
      project
      was
     
     
      surprisingly
      low.
     
    

    
     
      Trius
      Bus
      driver,
      Kimble
      Wood,
     
     
      supported
      the
      idea
      of
      a
      transit
      system
      in
     
     
      Charlottetown.
      “A
      transit
      system
      is
     
     
      certainly
      overdue.
      They
      currently
      have
     
     
      one
      small
      transit
      bus
      that
      has
      been
      in
     
     
      place
      for
      probably
      20-25
      years.
      Its
     
     
      knownas
      the
      seniors’
      bus,
      but
      anybody
     
     
      can
      use
      it.
      The
      hours
      are
      inconvenient
     
     
      for
      many
      people,
      and
      the
      transit
      system
     
     
      needs
      more
      units,
      covering
      a
      larger
     
     
      area,”
      explained
      Wood.
     
    

    
     
      Mr.
      Wood,
      who
      drove
      the
      bus
     
     
      all
      week,
      said
      he
      saw
      as
      many
      as
      ten
     
     
      students
      on
      board
      during
      one
      trip.
     
     
      However,
      Thursday
      afternoon
      had
      only
     
     
      asingle
      student
      on
      board.
     
    
   
   
    
     
        
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Jody
      Thomas,
      a
      native
      of
      Prince
     
     
      Edward
      Island
      who
      currently
      studies
      at
     
     
      Mount
      St.
      Vincent,
      took
      advantage
      of
     
     
      the
      free
      ride
      downtown.
      Thomas,
      who
     
     
      regularly
      uses
      Halifax
      transit,
      had
      a
     
     
      relatively
      positive
      view
      on
      the
      awareness
     
     
      project.
     
    

    
     
      “I
      think
      Charlottetown
      should
     
     
      definitely
      have
      a
      mass
      transit
      system.
     
     
      I’ve
      heard
      they’ve
      done
      a
      study
      in
     
     
      certain
      geography
      classes
      in
      Dalhousie
     
     
      regarding
      transit.
      The
      results
      found
      that
     
     
      it
      was
      odd
      that
      Charlottetown
      doesn’t
     
     
      already
      have
      transit
      system
      in
      place
      with
     
     
      the
      amount
      of
      people
      living
      in
      city
      limits.”
     
    

    
     
      Thomas
      continued,
      “It
      will
     
     
      make
      Charlottetown
      a
      more
      appealing
     
    
   
   
    
     
      city,
      especially
      in
      the
      winter.
     
     
      International
      students
      would
      greatly
     
     
      benefit
      from
      the
      service
      because
      of
      our
     
     
      cold
      temperatures.”
     
    

    
     
      Public
      opinion
      on
      transit
      is
      clear.
     
     
      Islanders
      are
      fully
      behind
      a
      transit
      system
     
     
      coming
      to
      Charlottetown.
      The
      media
      has
     
     
      recognized
      and
      embraced
      that
      stance.
