Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Started in August 1974, as one of the first large-scale radio-controlled "Dial-a-Ride" services in the country, the experiment relied heavily on financial support from the Government's Transport and Road Research Laboratories, the Harlow Town Council and Essex County Council.

When Government backing was withdrawn in 1976 the operation was redesigned to become a "Hail-and-Ride" ser. vice without the advance telephone booking facility, Despite continued financial assistance from the Harlow and Essex Councils the service has sustained considerable losses.

The minibus will be replaced by an hourly bus service.
