All professional drivers, bus drivers, cabbies, firefighters, police officers and truck drivers should be tested for alcohol and drugs How would management of Coast Mountain/TransLink know this isn't a problem, if testing has never been done? We have a bus system that has become more expensive for passengers, and drivers are getting a minimum $25 per hour. The public deserves first-class safety and professional delivery of a public-transit system from top to bottom. Sue Cook, North Vancouver - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
