THE Ulster Transport Authority's " truck-leasing " service has grown to such a degree that it is hoped to expand the fleet from 100 to 150 by the spring of 1962. This was stated by Mr. Noel E. Flanagan, rates and charges officer of the U.T.A., when the Authority's 100th contract hire vehicle was formally put into service at the Midland Hotel, Belfast, last week.
One-man Buses in Northern Ireland ?
THE way is now clear for the Ulster Transport Authority and the trade unions to reach agreement on the operation of one-man buses, writes our Belfast correspondent. The Northern Ireland Ministry of Home Affairs, by regulation. has amended the p.s.v. regulations to enable standing passengers to be carried on buses without conductors.
Until now, this was one of the obstacles to agreement. The Authority took the view that the right to carry standing passengers at peak times was essential.
