Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

SPEAKING at an informal luncheon to the Press, given last Friday by the Institute of Transport, Mr. J. S. Wills, the retiring president, said that the past year had been very worrying for passenger transport operators.

He acknowledged that the procedure to be followed by the British Transport Commission in raising its charges was even more complicated than that prescribed for private undertakings.

Mr. A, B. B. Valentine, a member of the London Transport Executive. became president last Monday.
