EPAID BUS tickets and more one-man buses should be part of a shake-up for London nsport, according to a publication just out. London Transport – New Look is the title of a icy paper written under the direction of Harold Mote, chairman of the Greater London Council mlon Transport Committee.
By the Passenger Editor Jir Mote says, in a forword the paper, that the purpose :he proposed shake-up is to tore public confidence in bus and Underground tems and to get better ue for the vast sums of 3lic money spent on subsis.
['he paper proposes the roduction of a wide-ranging tern of prepaid bus tickets .ding to increases in ,-man operations, cutting service duplication and lacing some Underground vices by bus or British Rail, flaming fares to the level of ?, general inflation and :ting LT expenditure to save arty £186 million in 1978-83.
says the document has m prepared "with virtually consultation with London insport Executive" and that le Executive has serious :ervations about the practiplay and wisdom, from the ssengers' standpoint of seral of the document's prosals which concern the y-to-day management of ndon Transport.'
But some of the proposals in paper such as the one to 3lace certain sections of belines with bus or parallel itish Rail services seem rdly likely to restore public nfidence in LT.
The only effect can be to increase journey times from the suburbs and the provinces to central London to lose even more public confidence.
LT is making no comment on specific proposals at present but will publish a reply to the paper "within the next week or so following which discussion will take place on the draft proposals with members and officers of the GLC."
