IN response to the letter about the new bus for Copmanthorpe (September 7): this is ridiculous. On inquiring about to the route I was told passengers are being advised to go to Tesco's then change to a Park & Ride.

I presume standing and changing buses in cold wet weather doesn't matter. I don't want to go half way round the suburbs to get to town.

I suggest Copmanthorpe passengers, and anyone else affected by these ridiculous ideas, show their disgust when it comes to voting time. We still do not have a service after tea or on a Sunday. And with mail often arriving at 2.30pm the city is going backwards.

Mrs J Lewis,

Gardeners Close,

Copmanthorpe,

York.
