Why Not Offer a Lift the Eaitor of the "Nonru-Cuama Dany News"

'Sim—Being one of the unfortunate people who have to use the omnibus vu s. means of transportation to my' dally work, and having had to wait until "nearly" frozen lately, thoroughly wet on other occasions, whilst bus after bus pulls up and] Pr starts off again without me having! been able to add myself to the already grossly overcrowded vehiel have wondered why so many people pass by with almost empty" private ears and fail to offer a lift to people they see standing shivering at bus stops. It seems to me that owners] going straight down the Nanking! Road, or even those who make their way to the Bund via the side streets, would Kindle a kindly feeling in the! human breast, were they to extend their hospitality to fellow creatures now and then, Also it seems strange that the bus company does not consider the ides of '8 No, 1 bus on its town. Ward trip, une from Seymour Roa corner and one from Yates Road corner at a stated hour such 95 830 am. or even 840 am=what a help {his would be to those who cannot aty. afford. taxis ekshaws, Is the] idea unreasonable'
