In the annual report of the Commisisioner of Police for the Metropolis for the year 1924, it is stated. that 1,001 new motor omnibuses and 966 motorcabs were licensed. The London Traffic Act of 1924 necessitated the issue of ,093 new motorbus licenee.s.in substitution for those previously issued, and many thousands of the new form of schedule required by the Act were received, checked and distributed.
The Commissioner states that the usual traffic census was taken during the year and showed a large increase, the extent of which can be gathered by the fact that at one point the traffic was as much as 31 per cent, above that for 1923, and 60 per cent, in excess of the volume of traffic recorded at the. same point in 1904.
