PROTEST BY DRIVERS
Bus Terminal Control (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, April 18. About 200 members of the Northern Drivers’ Union today strongly protested at the Auckland City Council’s handling of traffic movements at the municipal bus terminal. A resolution passed at a stop-work meeting of the men said two tragedies and many near misses at the terminal were grim evidence of the unsatisfactory state of affairs. While the men were meeting between 11 am. and 2 p.m. suburban bus companies abandoned scheduled services. The secretary of the union (Mr G. H. Anderson) said the men called for urgent action by the council to shift some services out of the terminal. They also wanted traffic movements rearranged to eliminate any reversing of buses.
