Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

NEW buses are expected to be added to Aberdeen and north-east trans. port fleets between now and the end of the year, but they are not likely to he delivered in time to ease this season's holiday travel pressure. " We are hopeful that the situation will be considerably better by next summer," % representative of a leading company of bus operators told our correspondent.

"We have a large number of new vehicles on order, and whilst deliveries are far behind schedule, we hope to have quite a number of buses in the next few months.

"Another point to be borne in mind is that every new bus does not neeessarily means an additional bus—far too many old vehicles are having to be scrapped for that. As a matter of fact, if conditions had been normal during the past six years, at least half of our present fleet would have been off the road by now."

Of 50 new buses which Aberdeen Corporation has on order, only about six are nearing completion, and delivery of these is being held up by scarcity of glass and paint.,
