Special buses will leave St. George's Hotel, supplementing the regular six minutes service, at two minute intervals, so timed as to ving passengers into town shortly before 9 am. (in the winter; months). These special buses will start again for St. George's Hotel: from The Bund shortly aitter midday and return from St. George's Hotel after tiffin in time to land their passengers in town before 2 o'clock. A final return journey will be made about 5.30 p.m. By means of this special service it is anticipated that a large number of private ricshas and tiffin cars will be eliminated, thus relieve ing the congestion on the Nanking Road, greatly to the benefit of all users thereof. The company pro poses to make a trial at reserving seats in these special buses.
In order to minimise loss on copper coins the company proposes fo issue books of tickets and only to accept ten and twenty-cent silver coin on the buses, giving as change, for fares below ten cents, tickets or tokens good for five cents or smaller values. The possibility that forgeries of such tickets may be presented has not been lost sight of and steps will be taken to guard against this. The maximum fare permitted by the Council is ten cents per mile for Ist class and five cents per mile for 2nd class.
The company anticipates that no first class fare on any route now authorized will exceed 2 cents or second class fare 10 cents per trip.
