Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE new Market Parade bus station in Gloucester was opened on April 30 by the Mayor of the City. Owned by the Corporation, it is leased to the Bristol Omnibus Company, Ltd., who operate 44 country and two -of the city routes from it. Other users are Red and White, Midland Red, Black and White and five independent operators.

Eighteen end-on loading bays are provided, services from each bay being grouped geographically. A two-storey building houses booking and inquiry offices and a cafeteria on the ground floor, with canteen and paying-in facilities for bus crews upstairs.

The general layout and design of the buildings have been the responsibility of the city engineer, Mr. J. H. Goodridge and the city architect, Mr. J. V. Wall. The building was carried out by W. J. B. Hall's, Ltd, the paving of the forecourt being undertaken by Todd and Co. Associated with the bus station is a new shop and office block.

The new bus station, which has been built on the site of the old cattle market, faces railway travellers as they leave the Central station and improves interchange facilities as well as those offered to passengers on local town and country services.
