AClearly there is a limit beyond which
public reaction to a reduced frequency of service could be fatally damaging to revenue. As an example of what can be achieved in municipal transport, Oldham Corporation passenger transport department recently introduced service cuts which in a full year would save 250,000 miles.
When the transport manager put the scheme for reduced frequency to his committee he pointed out that between 1956 and 1966 there had been a reduction in the number of passengers carried of 34 per cent but the mileage run had fallen by only 3+ per cent.
