MR. F. S. Taylor, general manager of
Newcastle-on-Tyne Corporation transport undertaking, ays in his annual report that unless something is done to cope with road congestion, road passenger services will be unable to operate effectively at peak hours.
During the past five years, private cars registered in the city have increased by 28 per cent and in the same period there has been a 15 per cent drop in passengers carried on corporation buses. Traffic in the Tyneside area is growing at the rate of nine per cent annually.
The report announces a net profit of £233,078 against £101,697 the previous year, but says that the general reserve fund is inadequate to meet further fleet renewals, and revenue will have to be substantially increased.
