Original Toronto Star caption: Bubbles the bus bunny drew plenty of stares and more than a few apprecative comments yesterday as she tested out a suggestion made at the Canadian Urban Transportation Conference that bus bunnies be used to make public transportation more attractive. It worked at least for one passenger - he went a mile past his stop. Idea seemed slightly less popular with women patrons.
