INTRO.DUCTION of 20-journey weekly I bus tickets was sought before the Scottish Deputy Traffic Commissioners by Simpson's Motors, Rosehearty, last week.
Mr. James Kindness, the firm's traffic superintendent, said the application was made in View of the change to the five. day week in many industries. For the majority of workers 24-journey weekly tickets were no longer necessary.
Opposition came from W. Alexander and Sims, Ltd., for whom Mr. R. C. B. Currie said this Was virtually an application for a reduction in fares. If this 'innovation came about, others would have to follow and i the end could result in applications for higher fares in other directions.
Ivo TownSend, they ehairnian, recalled' that ...Simpson'S had some time ago been gi.anted 'iuthority' to prune or
• withdraw Certain unremunerative services, " Now you are going to still further impair your financial position in introducing 20-journey tickets at lower fares. The result will be either further pruning or pleas for increased fares to rriake up what yoli. are losing:" • The application was withdrawn.
