THE West Midland Licensing Authority has granted the Potteries Motor Traction Co., Ltd., and 13 other operators in the Potteries area permission to increase concession and single fares on works services. P.M.T. will be able to earn an extra £50,000 a year. This year, the latest wage awards will cost them £66,000 and next year, 186,000.
The Authority said that he had decided to grant increases in concession fares only on journeys where the single fare was more than 'Id. This was because the worker who had two short journeys to make would have to suffer two increases.
The company had asked for the shift workers' concession to be abolished because, they said, it was being abused. Although 3,000 workers were employed on shift work, there were 8,000 shift-workers' passes.
The Authority did not agree that the shift-workers' system was widely abused and he refused to abolish concessions. He stated, however, that the system needed tightening up and he appealed to employers to co-operate with the company in controlling the issue of passes.
