CAVERSHAM—CEMETERY BUS.
TO THE EDITOR. _ Sir, —1 would like to draw the attention of those m power to the state of No. 10 bus. Jt is a disgrace to the tramway department, and should be scrapped. The rough passage we get is beyond description. We pay the fare, and should have some comfort. Some elderly people now take the tram to the car sheds and get a Bay car there, and walk to the.cemetery, sooner than risk being thrown out of their seat and hurt. I would like the Tramway Committee to go one trip, and they would find what we pay for. Also, the terminus at Minto street wants attention. On wet Sundays we have to land on wet clay or pools of water, or some drivers are considerate enough to stop in the middle of the road, and we land on rough metal. Also, elderly people have trouble in getting down. Now that a now road is made at the cemetery gate the bus should go down to the gate and then the driver could see if anyone was coming up to return to the terminus When the bus stands round the corner of Minto street intending passengers do not know whether it is there until they turn into Minto street. —I am, etc.,
Scrap No. 10
