MOVES currently being urged on the US Senate's anti-trust sub-committee may lead to an .important growth in bus building there. The fuel crisis in the States has brought into sharp focus the lack of adequate buses in the country. Instead, says a counsel who reports to the sub-committee, there are a "100 million gas-guzzling cars".

Staff of the committee are said to be hopeful that a Bill can be passed through the Senate which would require General Motors to divest itself of its bus factories — thus enabling bus manufacture to be opened up to rivals in America and abroad. This is seen as a first step to break the stranglehold in the bus market by three companies, of which GM is one.
