BUS STOPS.
, yon please enlighten rne as to whether there are any recognised bus stops in Queen street. Jwght after night one sees unfortunate intending passengers step out from the kerb, waving umbrellas or walking sticks to attract the driver's attention, but only to be left standing. One driver in particular makes Jus stops just before entering a safety rone, leaving enough room for other vehicles to p»« between him and the zone, but others stop almost anywhere. It is very confusing for passengers trhen the drivers themselves do not seem to know which are the recognised bin stops. At the corner of Karanrahape and •Ponsonby Roads the traffic department placed a disc marked "Bus stop; no parking." I would like to suggest that the tramway* department has these discs at every bus 6top in the city. Everyone would then know where to wait for a bus. In the case of the stop at Wellesley Street it is a wonder to me that 6 traffic department has not prohibited the parking of taxis nearby. These cars park as close to the zone as possible and when • bus stops at that stop every following vehicl* must also stop, and on a busy night these vehicles will reach to Victoria Street LEFT STANDING.
