'a Yorkshire Area Passenger Sectional Board has instructed Mr. W. jeLowe (area secretary) to invite municipal passenger-. transport undertakings and the large associated bus companies to take part, with independent operators, in discussions at the meetings.
Tare was a unanimous opinion at the Sectional Board's meeting last week that late buses should be curtailed, except where they are necessary for the transport of workpeople.
