KOWLOON BUS SERVICE THE GULF STREAM

SOME CANDID COMPLAINTS OF THE

RESIDENTS

(By Our Special Correspondent.)

Now that the new bus company has had a fair chance to show what service they are putting on in the mainland, it would not be out of place to give the views of a few Kowloon residents as regards the effect of the change-over.

84.

At the very outset, it would be only fair to the Company to say that such a change-over, must, of necessity, entall on little trouble and inconvenience, and as catering for the whole of the mainland is not by any means a cushy" job, it would perhaps bo rather hard to expect anything better than we have had for the past few weeks Time, and time, alone, will show whether the present arrangements are going to be permanent or who then there will be an improvement There must be an improvement if the Company is to continue to enjoy the support of the public, and just by way of suggestions, I will bring

forward a few points which I hope will come to the notice of such res- ponsible member of the staff of Kowloon Motor Bus Company.

It is not very pleasant to hold a ticket which is covered with saliva, and it is much worse to keep it in the pocket, and as tickets must be retained for inspection, one can understand why this habit is so repulsive.

One of the greatest faults of the drivers employed by the Company

Formerly, Route No. 8 huses at the present time is their sad luck of patience. They all of them went from the Star Ferry wharf to to be suffering from this Kowloon Tong, but alace the "disease" for it may even be term-change over had been effected, this ed an "epidemic," so fast it has route is now no more, as No. 8 caught on), and one feels that if busca now run from Jordan Road (Vehicular Ferry Wharf) to Kow- an example were made of one or two of them, there would soon be loong Tong, As a result, therefore, people living in Kowloon Tong are a stop to all this.

forced to use bus No. 7, which runs from the Ferry Wharf to Kowloon Tong via Homuntin, and as the number of residents in those two mesos small, districts is by no. there is always a rush for seate, and more often than not, during the rush hours, a good number of people have to wait another ten minutes or so for the next bus

These drivers all seem to be in a great hurry to start their vehicles whether they are leaving the ter- minus or one of the many stopping places. The other evening, I was returning from Hong Kong and I had no sooner left the ferry wharf than I saw the whole fleet of buses leaving simultaneously. Quite a number of people were left waiting for the next lot of buses to leave, and as some of the crowd were in a hurry to get away, there was much

The other defect is, in my opinion, the worse of the two and if allowed to go on, I would not be at all surprise to sea one of the
