LASGOW should be served mostly %.--1 by single-deck motorbuses, said Cfir. a Reid, of Glasgow'Corporation, last week. He added that if he had his way he would not have another trolley
bus on the road. .
Car. Reid heads a special committee of the local Progressive Party, who have produced a transport policy providing for the abolition of trains %vithin 10 years, instead of 20 years, and no extension of municipal services beyond the city boundary.
He asserts that the Labour Party, by cancelling the arrangement whereby a panel of experts under the chairmanship of Lord Cameron would advise on the running of transport services, had brought " disastrous results."
