APETITION is to be presented to the Minister of Transport by Hudson's Bus Co., Horncastle, Lines, who object to the East Midland Traffic Commissioners' proposal to vary their fares. The company have already told the Commissioners that they do not want their fares to be brought into line with those of the Lincolnshire Road Car Co., Ltd.
They have pointed out that the routes in question are already making a profit. If the new schedule were instituted, fares on one service would go up from 3s. 11d. to 4s. lid., and on the other from 6s. 9d. to 8s. 10d.
Local authorities and passengers are supporting the petition.
