PEAK MAXICAB EXTENDS SERVICES
The Peak Maxicab service which began operating in May 1972
is to extend its services.
Beginning tomorrow (Friday) a new route will be introduced
between Central District and Mount Austin Road on the Peak.
From the Peak, the buses will travel via Mount Austin Road,
Peak Road, Plunkett's Road, Plantation Road, then back to Peak Road.
Barker Road, Magazine Gap Road, Garden Road, Jackson Road, Chater Road,
Club Street, Connaught Road Central to the existing stand near the City Hall.
On the journey from Central, the buses will also call at Barker
Road, Plantation Road and then terminate in Mount Austin Road.
There will be a flat fare of $1.
The operating frequency of the new service will vary from 10 to
15 minutes. However, the existing route, which includes Mount Kellett
Road, Guildford Road and Mansfield Road, will continue to operate on
its present schedule with a frequency varying from five to 15 minutes
on weekdays and increased to every four minutes on Sundays and Public Holidays.
A spokesman for the Transport Department said today that the
new route could be adjusted in the light of operating experience gained
over the next few months.
"It's hoped that with the introduction of the additional route,
more notorists will be encouraged to leave their cars at home, thus
helping to ease traffic congestion in Central," the spokesman added.
