Corporation bus fares was granted last week by the Yorkshire Traffic Commissioners at Hull. Fares are to be increased by Id. as from Sunday.
The senior assistant solicitor to the Hull Corporation, Mr. K. H. Campbell, making the application, said its object was to meet an expected deficit at the end of the current financial year of £96,054 and to make available reserves for capital expenditure. He said the fare increase would provide an additional revenue of £212,000 a year.
The general manager of the Hull Corporation Transport Department, Mr. G. H. Pulfrey, said the estimated accumulated deficit based on existing fares at March 31, 1963, would be £199,226. If the application were granted in full the estimated accumulated surplus on March 31, 1963, would only be £13,274. .
Granting the application, the Chairman, Major F. S. Eastwood, said: "It is more than likely that you will need every penny you are asking for."
An application will shortly be made by the East Yorkshire Motor Services to step up their fares by id. on the routes operated jointly with Hull Corporation Transport.
