vORGIVENESS should be freely accorded to the layman who has concluded that all the business of motor coach and bus operators lies in running regular services over either long or short distances.
Happily for those amongst the operators whom we may term jobbing coach owners there is plenty of other work to do, work which is growing in quantity and widening in scope, especially—and this is an important point— during the winter, which has hitherto been regarded as, to some extent at least, a close season.
The developments are due to two principal causes : an increase in the appreciation by all classes of the value, utility and comfort Of the modern coach, and enterprise on the part of coach owners themselves. Several examples of both these causes come to mind. We may mention, as instancing the first, the use of the coach for the conveyance of parties to hunt balls— more than one London coach owner has secured surprise orders in that connection this season.
Operators are showing enterprise in discovering, and advertising, new uses for the coach, notably in the conveyance of parties to theatres.
Coach owners who are without the fortunate experiences of the former kind and who have not yet risen to the opportunities exemplified in the latter should note the facts and take steps accordingly, first, always to have a coach or two in first-class order, ready for unexpected demands, and, second, to look around for new lines of business.
