TRAMS AND BUSES.
Sir. Ford, manajrrr of the tramways ® Auckland. stated on his return from his tnp abroad that trams were indispensable a® l buses no good at all in solving modern, traps* port problems. The following extract front a Sydney paper dated last month makes experience of tram- different: "The demand) ever growing stronger, for the scrapping 0 the lumbering, noi-y. funeral tram car? whi clatter up our main highways within city boundaries, has received an accession ° strength from the stati-tic> «>f passenger o°® traffic. It is hardly believable that our motor buses carried 100,000,000 passengers during 1927, but the facts ure there. Why the Fa way Commissioners cannot ]>at on a series o up-to-date motor buses to handle city traffic and remove the unsightly trams which roar along our city streets like archaic juggernau " is a mystery. The n. .tor car and motor bus are vehicles of the twentieth century." PROGRESS
