THERE should be no further fares increases on Ulster Transport Authority buses, according to the recommendation of Mr. Werner Wolfgang Heubeck, new managing director of the Authority's road passenger transport services.
Mr. Heubeck said in Belfast last week that he envisaged a freeze in fares rather than a reduction. As the undertaking was making a loss, fares could not be reduced until running costs were lowered. His investigations had shown that a reduction in fares might be possible within one or two years at the most.
A feeder service to the railways would also be supplied by the buses, said Mr.. Heubeck. As long as they had the railways they must make use of them. There was no point in buses and trains splitting the number of passengers available.
New Authority A new road passenger transport company is to be set up in Northern Ireland to supersede the UTA, with Mr. Sidney Catherwood as chairman-designate. Mr. Catherwood (aged 36) is a director of H.A.C. Catherwood and Sons Ltd.
Mr. Arthur Algeo continues as chairman of the UTA in the new interim Board announced by the Minister of Development, Mr. William Craig, pending the introduction of legislation for the reorganization.
Mini-coach Exhibition: An exhibition of new and used mini-coaches, staged by Williams Motor Co. (Sales) Ltd., 10 Great Bridgewater Street, Manchester 3, since January 1, has been extended until January 16 because of heavy demand. Mr. Williams and fellow directors will be present in person on the 16th., and the exhibition is open from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. each day until Sunday.
More Leylands for Birkenhead: Birkenhead Corporation transport committee recommends acceptance of the tender of Leyland Motors Ltd. for the supply of 15 double-decker bus chassis at a cost of £2,582 each and the tender of Massey Bros. Ltd. for 15 bodies for the above buses at a cost of £3,070 each.
