A LTHOUGH the Bristol Tramways and Carriage Co., Ltd., and its two subsidiaries last year carried many mpre passengers than in the previous year, the rate of increase in traffic shows signs of falling off. Mr. George Cardwell, chairman of the company, noted this trend at the annual general meeting last week.

Many additional facilities for travel were introduced during the year, he said, and revenue from passengers increased by £359.000 (nearly 13 per cent.) to £3,184,000. The number of passengers carried rose by about 12 per cent, to 281,000,000. Including the company's two subsidiaries, the total number of passengers carried was 321,000,000. The three concerns' buses covered nearly 46,500,000 miles.
