Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

1-0-OPERATION between Exeter '4---.Corporation and the Devon General and Southern and Western National companies has overcome difficulties created by the withdrawal of the municipal bus services on Sundays, since the outbreak of war.

On January 14 the companies commenced to take up and set down passengers in the city on their existing services. This arrangement is to continue on future Sundays, provided that normal fares are charged and that the regular stopping places are observed.

MANCHESTER GAS-FUEL PLANS

PREPARATIONS of Manchester Transport Department are so far advanced with regard to the adoption of gas as an alternative fuel, that " gasbus specials " are expected to be on the road next month. Two vehicles are being equipped, one with a bag and the other with cylinders. .If successful,

half-a-dozen buses will be adapted as quickly as possible. An official remarked that the 15-mile limit of utility with a bag presents a difficulty, entailing the vehicle returning fairly frequently to one of the two big departmental garages for refuelling.

At the city's gas department, it was stated that the call, so far, for gas as a motor fuel was practically nil, but " the demand will doubtless come when petrol becomes scarcer and dearer, and when it comes we shall be ready to meet it."

BUS CHANGES TO SUIT EARLIER SCHOOL CLOSING

ON Wednesday last, London Transport introduced a number of alterations to its Country (green) bus services in the Chesham and Beaconsfield area. They have been made to meet new requirements created by the altered closing times of the schools and the re-introduction of Green Line coach routes between High Wycombe and Oxford Circus and Chesharn awl Oxford Circus.
