Epossibility of converting its Perth city services to one-man operation with iingle-deck buses replacing the present iouble-deckers is being considered by W. Alexander and Sons (Northern) Ltd. A ;hree-month trial will be carried out on the Street-Muirton route, commencing in September.
Mr. A. C. Stuart, district traffic superintendent, Perth, has said there is no question of redundancy. The system would be introduced gradually and would eliminate the problem of lack of manpower. About 120 employees operate the city services at the moment and the annual turnover is about 90.
On the single-deck buses proposed, passengers would obtain tickets from a machine at the entrance and any change required from the driver.
