SOME COMPARISONS
SUBURBAN RATES UNCHANGED A comparison between the new passenger x'ates which are to come into operation and the old rates is as follows, the old rates being given in parentheses:—Dunedin to Lyttelton return: First class, £3 11s 9d (£3 2s 4d); second class, £2 7s 9d (£2 Is 7d). Dunedin to Invercargill return: First class, £2 2s 3d (£1 16s lOd); second class, £1 8s 6d (£1 4s 8d). Dunedin to Cromwell return: First class, £2 7s 6d (£2 Is 4d); second class. £1 12s (£1 2s 7d). Wellington Auckland return: First class. £6 8s 9d (£5 12s); second class, £4 6s (£3 14s lOd). As most passengers will have bought their tickets beforehand, it is not likely that many will be affected by the increase until a day or two after it has taken effect. For this reason, travellers to Dunedin for the Ranfurly Shield match are not likely to have to reconsider their budgets for the weekend.
