Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

AN application by Bradford Transport Department to charge top-deck passengers on their city tours 6d. more than on the lower deck caused raised eyebrows at the Yorkshire Traffic Commissioners' Court at Leeds on Monday.

Mr. L. L. Christie (Corporation Traffic Superintendent) gave evidence that although it was sought• to extend the period of operation of the tours at holiday times to include Whit Tuesday, it had proved extremely difficult to load the lower deck, and by making a differential fare of 3s. and 2s. 6d. the department felt they would be better able to do so.

Granting the application, the chairman. Major F. S. Eastwood, commented: " You will have to label them ' saloon ' and ` tourist '!"
