It was with great interest and sympathy that I read the letter to from Pamela Jenkins re: “missing the bus” in your Jan. 26 issue.
I had a similar experience arriving by Greyhound from Kamloops at 7:05 p.m. Jan. 22, only find no taxis and the bus depot shut up so there was no access to a phone.
A kind young man and the bus driver were discussing my predicament when they spied a police car and flagged him down and asked if he would phone a taxi for me. He did.
They returned to the bus and went on their way and the police car waited about 15 minutes until the taxi came. I was very pleased as it is not fun for an old lady to stand alone on a dark street at that time of night.
My thanks and appreciation to the policeman for his consideration.
