ROAD SERVICES

ATTITUDE, OF, TRANSPORT APPEAL,BOARD.

(Per Press, Association-Copyright).

AUCKLAND, August 25. i Comment on : the attitude, of .the Railway Department to roads services, was made by Mr L. Alderton of the Transport Appeal Board, in dissenting from a majority, decision of the Board. 11 . Mr Alderton said the opposition of the,, Department, to road services in southern suburban and outer suburban Auckland area, constituted. an' endeavour, to force, coordination- with the railway. Operators were asked to accept, the unprofitable portion of the. journey, and; the- Department made no serious attempt to show that the curtailed-road service, could, be made payable. One of the greatest difficulties confronting the .-Appeal r Board was the fact that, the Railway . Department had apparently failed, or refused to admit; the limitations of the, railroad. Until it-did .admit; them, it was impossible toj obtain , a harmonious or effectual co-ordination between essential road- and rail services. It was politic to consider how far the travelling- public could; be coerced by the decisions of - tlie, Appeal Boarty, given in, response to Railway Appeals. It* might-well result in the alienation of. public sympathy', whipli* the ‘Departments .like all transport- operators, could ill afford to lose. He believed the attempted co-ordination would only cause the much increased Aise of private cars. ' ~
