• A passenger travelling on Ribble Motor Services Ltd. last week refused to pay a recently imposed penny increase. He said he did it deliberately because the fare between the same two points on another route was one penny cheaper.
The bus was stopped and the passenger, Mr. R. Mackie, was arrested. At the police station no charge was preferred and he was allowed to go home.
On Friday, Ribble reduced the fare by a penny and a spokesman said: "We spotted the error on Monday when the general increase was made. This was an anomaly and that fare is now reduced to 4d to bring it in line with the other fares."
