ASPECIAL passenger survey is to be conducted in Carlisle by Ribble Motor Services Ltd. for a week beginning on February 27. Bus passengers will be quizzed and their replies tabulated by special ticket machines for feeding later into a computer.
The survey is designed to cut passengers' travelling time, and about 400,000 specialsize tickets will be issued. The ticket machines to be employed look rather like miniature cash registers and will make their appearance tomorrow (Saturday) to give conductors a week to get used to them.
