DEVONPORT TRANSPORT
AMENDING THE TIME-TABLE The application of the North Shore Transport Company, Ltd., to the No. 2 Bus Licensing Authority to be granted permission to amend its time-table on the Stanley Bay route has caused considerable speculation as to the effect of bus services to Stanley Bay. Until 1924 Stanley Bay transport centred around the wharf and ferry, but since then various attempts have been made to provide transport between the greater part of Stanley Bay area, which comprises Waterview and connecting roads and Devonport Wharf. The famous Yellow Buses were granted a permit for a service when licences were first issued in 1927 and the successor in ownership has carried on a service for the Grammar School at North Shore. In the interim two taxis have been put on the road; lately a motorette vehicle has been substituted for one of the taxis. Some of the Stanley Bay residents feel that the amending of the bus time-table foreshadows a cutting down of the steamer ferry service to Stanley Bay during slack traffic hours.
