AMOVE to ban smoking in all Belfast Corporation buses and trolleybuses is to be made at the next meeting of the transport committee. Cl1r. W. R. Boyd has asked the Town Clerk, Mr. John Dunlop, to include the question of smoking on the agenda.
In a letter to Mr. Dunlop, air. Boyd says that smokers should be prepared to co-operate, not only for their own sakes, but in the public interest. Smoking in the confined space of the city's buses often caused annoyance and discomfort to other passengers, especially when buses were crowded and women and children were obliged to travel on the top deck.
"The elimination of smoking on buses," he said, "would be a great boon to the travelling public, and would not cause any great hardship to the people who smoke."
