THOUGHTS OF THE TIMES.
CUTTING RAILWAY FARES. The new policy of reducing railway fares is a reversal of that of last year, it is a bold attempt to attract custom by reducing prices, and it is a challenge to the motor services that run in competition with the railways. No one can be better aware than the Board that this may lead to ; a serious falling off in revenue. The Board is taking a long view, looking to a gradual growth in- business as a result of these concessions and a permanent increase in the popularity of the train. On its success or failure the future of
railway transport will largely depend —“Auckland Star.”
