"Negrin-Emma Dany News"

Sm—I was glad to see the leaderette in this mornings paper. "Overcrowded Buses," It is time something was done about it. For example. yesterday morning I was struggling to board a bus at Edinburgh Road on my way to the office. The conductor shouted "No Morel" and I pushed my way through the crowd back to the pavement, I was the only one who did so. The rest of the crowd struggled on, and the bus moved off with passengers packed on the stairs. Within a few minutes a practically empty bus came along.

It is sometimes a real effort to get crowd, who are determined to get in and present a united front against anyone trying to get off. One might think that the bus was the last means of conveyance out of a city they themselves are given to standing on the stairs, Can anything be done Not, I think, without police action.
