CITY BUS LOOP IS A DANGEROUS PLACE

Editor: Each day after school, I have to wait for a bus at the bus loop on
Logan Avenue, which is a pain, due to the nature of the area around the
station.

That bus loop is nothing more than a disgusting rathole that has
become patronized by young dope fiend punks who have nothing better to
do but deal drugs in broad daylight and prey on innocent people, if no
one else is around.

They also spend their days smoking crack outside the casino, an ugly
building which has contributed to Langley's downfall from once being a
peaceful town.

A while ago, my eyes caught the attention of some low-life degenerates
on the bus who were up to no good. I could tell these punks were sick
in the head, seeing as they kept spitting on the floor and threatening
the driver when he ordered them to get off the bus.

I might also add that these idiots swore at the driver and threatened
to beat him up while he was on the phone with transit security, and
unfortunately, no transit supervisors arrived on the scene. Go figure.

There is an alarming number of crime and drug-related issues in that
area, so it is the police's responsibility to deal with it and ensure
that each citizen feels safe in his own neighbourhood.

TransLink should also be held accountable for all kinds of activity
that occurs on their properties. If the people who are in charge of
TransLink continue to show such neglect, then they shouldn't be
running TransLink.

People who commute to school and work each day are fed up with having
to look over our shoulders for degenerates in every nook and cranny.
Our politicians should stop talking and start taking action, by giving
each bus stop a good cleansing of scum, and make each city a safer
place for people to live and work.
