As from the beginning of last week, an express motorbus service has been running in Birmingham from boundary to boundary. The service is in the nature of an experiment in order to ascertain if there is really a demand for. vehicles travelling at higher rates than the ordinary buses and passing through the city from one suburb to another. The idea is to eliminate short-distance fares and the number of stops for the journey has been reduced. The Journey from boundary to boundary is being covered in about 48 minutes, which is much quicker than the time usually taken by the tramcars to cover the same distance.
Doncaster's Application to Rotherham.
The Doncaster Corporation has reeently intimated to the Rotherham Watch Committee that it is desirous of extending its existing bus service between Doncaster and Effiington to Rotherham via Braithwell, Maltby, and Wickersley.

Consideration of the matter was deferred.
