Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

\ DROPOSALS being considered by '1 Newcastle-on-Tyne town planning committee include developments to the city's three main bus stations. It is proposed to transfer the Haymarket bus station (a terminus for bus services all over Northumberland) to a site of four acres in Percy Street. Marlborough Crescent bus station, which serves vehicles running to northwest Durham and elsewhere, will be moved to the Old Infirmary site in Scotswood Road, and Worswick Street bus station will be extended to cover an area of three acres. All buses will travel from Worswick Street via a new road to the proposed roundabout at the junction of New Bridge Street and Trafalgar Street, and thence to another arterial link to the Tyne Bridge and on to Gateshead. After these development works have been completed, the bus stations will be able to handle 640 buses and 27,000 passengers hourly at peak periods.
