ONE-MAN BUS CREWS
System Popular In Australia
(New Zealand Press Association) DUNEDIN, July 27. Australia, which in the past has been accustomed to operating buses with a driver and conductor, is steadily changing over to the New Zealand system of one-man operation of both trolley and diesel buses. This is what the general manager of the Dunedin City Council’s transport department (Mr M. G. Collins), found on a threeweek visit to Melbourne,. Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and Newcastle.
Mr Collins, who returned to New Zealand today, said the mam purpose of his visit to Australia was to examine the operation of one-man buses there, in view of the New Zealand Tramways Union’s claim for conductors to be carried.
“Australia has found operation by one man infinitely safer than two men, and this has also been the experience of New Zealand,” he said.
