Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

rONVERSION from trams to motor

buses is going well in Edinburgh, and the promise that buses would be cheaper to operate can be kept, states the transport convenor, Cllr. R. McLaughlin, in his annual review.

Agreement with Scottish Omnibuses, Ltd., which made it clear that the corporation would provide shortdistance transport within the city, had been achieved after two years.

New extensions and conversions were going hand in hand. As each route was converted, there had been a need to revise terminals in the interests of service and economy.

More circular routes were required. The Lochend-Sighthill circular service carried more than 500,000 passengers— a sixth of the total carried by the corporation's buses in a week.

More services would need to use George Street and, among other things, this would require that the corporation reach agreement with Scottish Omnibuses about building a bus station at Clyde Street to relieve St. Andrew's Square of the present congestion.
