Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

DRISTOL OMNIBUS CO., LTD., may find it necessary to surrender the road service licences on some of its country services unless operating costs can be reduced, warns Mr. C. R. Buckley, the company's traffic manager, commenting on the Jack Report recommendations.

"The traffic authority cannot force a bus Company to operate services," he said, "and if the number of unremunerative services continues to rise unchecked we might well need to stop some services."

Bus companies had been trying for some time past to get the fuel lax removed completely, apart from a remission, but there didn't seem much, hope of success. "If there was to be a complete remission in tax, I don't think it would be the complete answer," said Mr. Buckley.
