IN the modified scheme for raising I London Transport's fares, which the British Transport Commission have submitted to the Transport Tribunal (The Commercial Motor, June 18) the Commission state that it is their firm opinion that the proposal to introduce a 3d. fare for three stages would be impracticable.
They are to develop their reasons in a further memorandum to the Tribunal.
" It would be impossible," say the Commission, " to introduce a 3d. fare for three stages without introducing a 5d. fare for five stages, a 10d. fare for 11 stages and a Is. fare for 13 stages, and without corresponding alterations in London Transport railway fares. The reduction in revenue from these alterations, if they were feasible, would, as compared with the scheme as submitted, be at least 11.75m."
The modifications, which will reduce the additional revenue originally budgeted for by 17001300, are to be made in the higher ordinary fares.
The Tribunal is to resume its public hearing of the Commission's application on Monday.
/200,000 PERSIAN ORDER I N the face of keen competition from Continental manufacturers, Leyland Motors, Ltd., have secured a 1200,000 order for 60 Hippo six-wheeled oilers from Persia. More than 500 vehicles of similar design are at present in use in Persia, operating across desert where dust and sandstorms often reduce visibility to nil.
HIGHER FARES AT CHESTER?
THE abolition of workmen's returns and an increase of id. in ordinary fares on the corporation's services have been recommended by Chester Transport Committee. The transport department will have an estimated deficit of 19,700 for the year ending March 31, 1955.
