SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY

I am writing to discuss my concern with the airport authority's recent decision to disable one of the shuttles to save electricity. This is illogical because:

• The amount of savings is probably relatively small.

• In a time-sensitive atmosphere (such as at the airport), every minute of unnecessary waiting is a setback for the customers.

Recently, the shuttle was so full that there was no room for all of the passengers to even fit into it. This appears to be a classic case of short-sightedness. Perhaps further savings can be realized by shutting down the airport altogether.
