• Complaints made to the Maesteg„ Bridgend and Penybont Councils that bus services were irregularly run and that "piracy" was rampant resulted in a conference being held at Bridgend of the clerks to the local authorities named, in the hope of devising means for securing better control of services.
One of the leading South Wales bus companies sent a representative to the conference to complain that since they had opened up the Bridgend-Maesteg route several other enterprises had put buses on and were running them with B36
out adherence to a time-table and in front of their buses. This, it was complained, was unfair.
It was agreed that " piracy " on the routes needed the attention of the coun
ens and it was decided to recommend all the owners of services being enforced to comply with a time-table giving a 20-minute service, to have all buses not authorized to ply for hire cleared off the routes, and to confer with owners with the object of obtaining better control of services.
The question of unauthorized buses plying has also received consideration from the Swansea Watch Committee, and the authority has resolved to take action against breaches of the law relating to plying for hire.
