D Morris asks if he /she is missing something with regard to the buses [The Weekend Sun, January 15].

Yes, D Morris you are. Instead of sitting in your car counting buses and passengers why don't you try hopping on a bus from time to time and leaving your car at home. That way you will help save the planet and join those of us who care about the environment.

For many of us the service is free and for others there is a small cost not to be compared with the cost of running a car.

For those of us who do use the buses, they are a great way of getting around and the drivers are considerate and helpful.

See you on the bus!

Peg Cummins, Ohauiti.
