THE South Wales Traffic Commissioners, at Newport (Mon.) last week granted an application to increase fares by the Cardiff Corporation transport undertaking.
Mr. D. A. Roberts Thomas, for the Corporation. said that recent wage awards were largely responsible for an increased exPencliture by the undertaking of £103.000. The scheme the Commissioners were being asked to sanction. he said, had been devised to reduce hardship on passengers to a minimum.
Certain fare stages which had been the subject of art increase in the last application were not included in the present one. There were no objectors.
The Commissioners granted several other applications. including one by the West Monmouthshire Omnibus Board, of Blackwood.
Mr. Glyn Coleman. financial officer to the Board, said they were asking the Commissioners for permission to increase certain fares to meet the cost of a recent wage award and to help to pay for losses incurred on higher costs of maintaining their buses.
The board sought to discontinue the issue of return fares based on 4d„ 5d. and 5A. s.rigle. to revise single and return fares and to revise weekly and season ticket rates.
The Commission granted the application. with the exception of the revision of rates for cheaper return fares.
A similar application by C. G. Hill and Sons. Ltd., a bus company operating in the Tredegar area, was also granted, as was an application by Caerphilly Council.
