LTHOUGH Bere Regis and District -X Motor Services are covering many mtes at a loss, their fares are still kept rwer than those of competing companies, le Western Traffic Commissioners heard St week. Mr. A. E. Savage, for the )mpany, explained that they would like come into line with other operators here fares were concerned, but public 3inion was against it. The company were seeking cuts in rvices, and were opposed by the three )mpetitors—Hants and Dorset Motor t.rvices, Ltd.; Wilts and Dorset Motor .!rvices, Ltd., and the Southern National mnibus Co., Ltd.
. H. Gailey, of Southern •
ational, said his company were conTned at the decline in traffic during the tst few years. Last year Southern ationaI were the only Tilling Group wipany to make a loss. Remunerative rvices were having to subsidize unrnunerative ones, and if there were a rss, services would have to be pruned. For Hants and Dorset, Mr. D. W. [orison said their traffic had fallen from rim. passengers in 1955 to 72m. last tar. if that trend continued the cornmy would have to discontinue a tbstantial number of umernunerative
,urneys.. •
Mr. T. Corpe, for all three objectors, aimed that they were charging reason)1e and proper fares, and could not ford any reductions. Mr. S. W. Nelson, chairman, agreed at it was in the public interest for 1 fares to be the same and that services tould be maintained. He adjourned the taring so that the four companies could 31.d discussions.
