NEW TYPE OF BUS
EXPERIMENT IN BRITAIN A new type of “pay as you enter” bus is now being tried out by London Transport, statps the Daily Telegraph of London. An experimental bps has been operating on the No. G 5 route, Ealing to Hook in Surrey, and the public have been asked to say what they think of the idea.

A pneumatically - operated slidingdoor is also controlled by the conductor.
