PASSENGERS’ ROOM
NEW FACILITIES ON POINT CHEVALIER ROUTE WOMEN IN ATTENDANCE An innovation in facilities for Avondale and Point Chevalier passengers is a “changing room” opened yesterday at the Point Chevalier Hall Corner. The room, which is in charge of a woman attendant, is intended to meet the convenience of travellers changing from bus or tram. Furnished with wicker armchairs, the premises have a women’s toilet apartment, and space for babies’ perambulators. At a counter timetables will be issued and concession cards sold, while a telephone is provided for emergencies. Trams from the City and buses bound for points beyond stop in front of the room, so that passengers can see them arrive. This is the first changing room to be established, according to Mr. A. E. Ford, manager of the Transport Board. In a week or ten days another waiting room will be opened at the Mount Al- - terminus. Wherever possible trams and buses are so timed to connect that no waiting will be involved, but where some delay is unavoidable the waiting room will help to minimise tlie inconvenience.
