Six vehicles left during the morning for Opotiki, the 6.30 o’clock service taking 34 passengers from Gisborne and the 10 o’clock cars carrying 25. Heavy bookings had been received on the Opotiki-Gisborne section of the Auekland-Gisborne route, 70 passengers having to be brought through this evening.
It was learned that bookings for the vacation period were heavy throughout.
