“NOT WHAT THEY SEEM.”
Counsel’s Criticism of Trolley Buses. The new trolley buses put into service by the Christchurch Tramway Board came in for brief but sharp criticism by counsel at a sitting of the Transport Appeal Board this morning. “ When you see these buses gliding through the Square,” he said, “ they seem to be perfection in passenger transport, but once you get into them you find that you would gladly pay a shilling for a ride on the tram owing to the jerks and jolts.” Mr Justice Frazer: That is so.
Counsel added that in dry weather the buses became very hot and dusty. They were not what they seemed.
