According to a report presented to the Merthyr Tydvil Council by the bus service superintendent (Mr. A. Acley), the bus undertaking of the municipality is thriving. According to the report, an average weekly profit of £52 has been maintained during the summer months. This satisfactory return has been rendered possible by the action of private proprietors in hiring out their vehicles in the summer to private Parties, with the result that there has been less opposition to the municipal buses. The Council is so well satisfied with the success of the undertaking that long-distanee services are to be arranged. .• It is intended to run Services between Merthyr and Pontypridd and Merthyr and Gellygaer. A new •service has already been established between .Glebeland Street, Merthyr, and Twynyrodyn boundary, with short-stage fare divisions.
