The promised interim report was not provided by the TTC at the end of the three month period and it was not until the first week in April. after re- peated requests, that this reâ€" port was forthcoming. It showed no appreciable increase in pas- sengers and an operation deficit so the three owning municipalities asked the TTC to undertake a study of the problem. The TTC will be instructed to discontinue the extension of the North Yonge Bus service to Elgin Mills Sideroad East effective June 27. by resolution of Richmond Hill Town Council Monday night. This resolution will be accompanied by similar ones from the Townships of Markham and Vaughan. These three municipalities own the bus franchise and the TTC operates the service for them. The extension was inaug- urated on September 6 at the request of the three municipalities with a re- quest for an interim report on its operation at the end of three months. It was hoped the. change would provide hotter service for the industrial area and for residents of Elgin Mills and could be handled with no extra buses. Estimated cost of the service was $6.000 a year and estimated revenue from the extension was $1.000.
