fakes Hawaii post
After a year and a half managing the Lincoln Transpor
tation System (LTS), Dick Frank will leave tomorrow, for,
a "better opportunity" in Honolulu, Hawaii.- ..C ,
LTS manager since March 1, 1974, Frank' will serve as
director of bus operations for the city and county of Hono
lulu. He said he will perform about the same duties i his
new position as he has in Lincoln.
No one has been named to succeed Frank as manager.
He said the system is now advertising for a replacement.
Frank said many innovations have been made, at LTS
' during his tenure as manager. They include several
additional routes, a new one-hour stop-over privilege on
transfers, and the 15-cent, Lincoln Public Schools student
bus fare. The only problem Frank said he sees in the
Lincoln system is a need for more buses.
The biggest difference between the Lincoln system and
the Honolulu system is size. The Lincoln system has 60
buses serving a population of over 150,000 while Honolulu,
a city of about 325,000 people, has a system of 400 buses.
