a bonus scheme I for bus crews is being recommended by Sunderland Transport Committee. The scheme, to be based on the number of passengers carried per man hour. would not be related to individual takings, but to the total number of passengers carried by the department, so that there would be no competition between crews.
Mr. N. Morton, transport manager, said he believed the plan would encourage conductors to watch for empty seats, keep an eye on passengers running for buses and ensure that all fares were collected.
The proposal is to be submitted to the National Joint Industrial Council and. if approved, will operate for an experimental period of 12 months.
At Nottingham, where crews rejected a suggested bonus scheme some time ago, another proposal has been put to them by the transport committee. The bonus would be measured in terms of miles run per paid hour and traffic per mile.
