NOT FOR A LONG TIME
- WILL ’BUS SUPERSEDE TRAM AUCKLAND MANAGER CONVINCED INVESTIGATION IN ILS.A. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.-—Copyright. Australian and N.Z Cable Association. (Received August 17 9.15 p.m.) NEW YORK, August 16. Mr Ford, general manager of the Auckland tramways, has arrived here, after investigating tile rapid transit facilities in 20 American cities. He said he had found that the authorities had long ago recognised the necessity for the co-ordination of tramway and moto- rapid transit facilities, since cut-throat competition, which apparently offered some immediate gain to the public, ultimately resulted in loss to the community. Mr Ford added that American conditions bad convinced him that ’buses would not for a long time yet supersede tramways as concerns for great bulk transportation facilities. The chief benefit of ’buses in America accrues from the transit facilities they offer to sparsely-populated urban areas. He will leave for England on September Bth to continue his investigations.
