Bus system ‘an embarrassment’


Editor’s note: This is a copy of a letter to John Furlong, CEO of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Organizing Committee (VANOC).

This to let you know that the bus service at the Olympics is a serious disaster and an embarrassment to us as a Canadians. Thousands of people stood in the wet snow and rain today (Feb. 13) for hours on end after the completion of the women’s biathlon and ski jumping competitions. Our foreign guests were enraged, apart from being extremely cold and wet, and I was embarrassed as a Canadian that we could not get these basic logistics together.

My recommendation is to fire whoever runs this and work hard at getting this fixed before this does serious damage to our reputation as a developed country.xxxxCheryl Derksen, Linda Givens,xxxxDale Snyder, Paul Snyder,xxxxTom Givens and Paul DerksenxxxxWhistler,
