CONCESSION tickets introduced on buses operated by Dundee Corporation have been comparatively little used. This was stated at a meeting of the transport committee, last week, when it was shown that only 1.4 per cent. of the passengers had made use of the new rates.
Originally, the undertaking had proposed the introduction of concessionticket vouchers, usable at any time. The Licensing Authority, however, granted permission only for 12and 24journey weekly tickets. An appeal against the decision was dismissed.
OXFORD INQUIRY DATE FIXED VOLLOWING representations made to him by Mr. Lawrence Turner, M.P., the Minister of Transport, having consulted Oxford City Council and City of Oxford Motor Services, Ltd., has directed that an inquiry into the difficulties of providing a public transport service in the city be held on July 8.

In recent months these difficulties have eased to some slight extent, and it is thought that the purpose of the inquiry is now to some degree void.
Parties who wish to make representations at the inquiry must contact the Secretary of the Ministry
