BUS FIRM’S OBJECTIONS
“DOES NOT WANT TO BE PERSECUTED” QUARTERLY EXAMINATION Removal of the restriction compelling the Auckland Bus Company to have its vehicles examined every three months by the Transport Board was asked by a deputation from the company, which waited on the Minister of Public Works, the Hon. E. A. Ransom, today. Appealing to the Minister to make representations to the Minister of Transport on these lines, Mr. B. Hart stated that the company was in an extraordinary position with the Transport Board. It had bought buses from the board and had converted a losing service into a profitable proposition. The quarterly examination imposed by the board, however, was objected to, the company being the only one on which it was imposed. The further prohibition against passengers being allowed to stand in their buses had only been postponed on condition the company placed one new bus on the road by December, and five new vehicles by February 1. This work was proceecNng night and day and a new garage costing £2,000 was going ahead at Hew Lynn. The company wanted to know its position and did not want to be persecuted by the board.
The Minister assured the deputation he would pass on the information to the Minister of Transport.
