Lines had violated terms of its franchise, porticularly in not pay- I ing the required annual fees of 23 per bus this year or last. "I've followed this bus matter a long time." said O'Hara. "and it leems to me every time they reduce service they lose more customers, then come back with the story they can't make any money."
