the London bus are numbered, according to Mr. Alexander Samuels, chairman of the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee.
He says: " As more people can afford cars, buses lose passengers and become uneconomic.
"There is a parallel here with the ousting of public baths by private bathrooms; the cinema by television. Public transport in London may have no future. The underground is an economic user, but the bus is certainly on the way out."
Mr. Samuels believes that new roads will have to be built, but urges that the present character of London should not be destroyed to make way for them.
