JH - 36 Our Public Knows

A pat on the back for the real people that makes LTD work. This is a Letter to the Editor to the Register Guard from August 11, 2004.

LTD's drivers go the extra mile

I am writing this to let people know what a great group of people we have working for us at Lane Transit District. LTD's drivers are the best. Wheelchairs, walkers, bikes and other things are all taken care of.

Help is given to those who require it, and all this with a smile, good humor and no complaints. At the same time, these dear people are trying to keep on a very strict schedule.

These drivers have to put up with road and weather conditions and the ridiculous driving antics of other vehicles that threaten their safety and the safety of all the passengers they are responsible for.

And they don't even get a lunch break! What stress those people must be under!

Yet, we who depend on them for our transportation really do depend on them. If it weren't for LTD, we couldn't get to and from work, doctor visits and various other appointments and pleasure trips. We just couldn't do without LTD.

And what would LTD be without the drivers? Nothing! The city would be in chaos.

We owe them so much. I hope they get the pay and other compensation that they deserve.

We're very appreciative customers.

Why is it that the public knows so much more than our own management? Hope the bosses are reading the paper! The public knows that the workers and not the management are main source of delivering the best possible service for our citizens.

Well Trudy, Joe Hill and many other LTD Drivers thank you for your kind comments.

In Solidarity,

Joe Hill
