The parks were linked with the city by 10-minute frequency bus services at a fiat fare of 6d. each way. Double-deck buses were employed on April 5. hut a one-man service operated on the 19th. both services limited-stop, although tl I Princes Street stops were used as picking-tip points for the return journeys. On the first day. 30 cars used one park ;ind 12 the other, but on April 19 (Glasgow public holiday) a total of 315 car-loads took advantage of the service.
