NEARLY 50 objections from local authorities were listed to an application by Crosville Motor Services last week for fares increases on all routes. Following a joint hearing by the North Western and South Wales Traffic Commissioners at Llandudno a majority of the increases were granted with effect from July 9.
The Commissioners said that the application was not unreasonable but they referred to a similar application early in 1966 when the company had been asked to stabilize shortdistance charges. In the circumstances the Id. rise in singles in the 3d.-6d. range would be deferred until January 1 1968. The application was for a Id. increase in the 3d.-1s. range; 3d. on the next series up to 2s. 4d.; and 4d. thereafter, with a return fare at 75 per cent above the single.
