Economic Realities Force Change

To the Editor:

I had the good fortune of living in Newtown for five years. Although my family and I moved on a year ago, the bus issue was very much alive and well much of the time we lived there and I am glad it has finally been resolved. Economic realities are changing our lives in many ways, and is a fact of life.

While I respect those in Newtown who appreciated their owner-operator bus drivers, I can assure you that my three children, both before and after Newtown, have had wonderful bus drivers, too! Just because a bus driver drives a company-owned vehicle does not make them less human and less capable of giving great service! They can still go above and beyond, return lost items, take the time needed, etc. If you really want to support your owner-operators now, write letters of recommendations for them and send them to All Star and ask them to be prudent in their hiring and remind them that Newtowners expect great service!

Best Wishes!
