Buses That Do Not Stop

Sir,—l would like to know why the bus marked “Square,” presumably the relief bus to the 7.37 a.m. bus from Fendalton, failed to stop at Shrewsbury street on August 15 and 16. I gave the necessary signal and the bus was not full. It also passed the Exeter street stop, where an intending passenger was waiting. I was informed by a passenger on the following bus that he complained to the Transport Department weeks ago, but nothing appears to have been done.—Yours etc., a A.L. August 20, 1957.

JThe general manager of the Christchurch Transport Board (Mr J - F. Fardell) said it was regretted that the correspondent had had to complain and the information I given would be investigated. Action would be taken on any reported case, but the report must be made in accordance with the I terms of the Tramway Award, namely, that the complaint must be in writing, signed, and received in the board’s offices within 48 hours of the incident, giving date, bus number, and time.]
