Transport Revenue
Sir,—All honour to the Labour members of the Transport Board for their rate-saving ideas. With a little thought they will doubtless augment the revenue from their present desecration of the buses. Perhaps conductors’ uniforms with a sponsor’s name embroidered on the back, maybe slogans on the cap bands, or, most noble of all, sandwich-boards for the board members. However, I do hope that the advertising committee can contrive to get the religious texts in the right positions. Violent thoughts like “Prepare to meet thy doom” should be confined to bus fronts, whilst searching questions such as “Where will you spend eternity?” would be most reassuring when placed to the rear of the bus, underneath! —Yours, etc., PROSTRATE PEDESTRIAN. Sept 23, 1058.
