1. “The law relating to the inconvenience of transportation as a ground for refusal of suitable work is well settled. Where a claimant refuses a referral without first testing the available transportation and without giving the proffered employment a trial, he cannot be said to have acted in good faith. . . . His [claimant’s] continuing complaint of transportation problems cannot be the source of permanent unemployment benefits. His [claimant’s] failure to accept the referral card and discuss the com muting problem with his potential employer indicates to us that Morrision [claimant] was not in ‘good faith’ seeking gainful employment. (Citations omitted.)”
