LOADING OF BUSES
TRANSPORT BOARD SEEKS DISPENSATION (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, November 9. No extra loading of public passenger buses is to be allowed during the Royal visit, the Commissioner of Transport (Mr G. L. Laurenson) has informed the Auckland Transport Board. The board’s manager (Mr C. R. Gribble) told it today that the Public Passenger Transport Association had at his request asked the commissioner to allow 7 an increase in the number of standing passengers on buses not fitted with rear doors.
The commissioner refused, saying that the existing provisions for loading had been fixed in the interests of public safety. The board considers it has a special case, and is to ask the commissioner to reconsider the proposal. It will point out that during the war years the limit for standing passengers was increased without, so far as it is aware, any ill effects.
