THOSE KOWLOON 'BUSES

An End Of The Old-Time Nathan. Road Races

BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT),

The new system for the control of bus services in Kowloon has had a pretty fair trial by this time, and although at first it did not prove to be very satisfactory, it is gratifying to note that things are changing for the better and many Improvements have been made, though no doubt, after a longer period "the service will be even moe efficient.

It was a matter of getting to the next stop frst and picking up the passengers, and, as the buses were operated by different companies, competition was naturally fairly keen. One thing which contribut-, ed largely towards the sport, was the spirit in which the driver's entered into the fun. The conduc- tors, too, played their parts with unfailing loyalty, though their Job was comparatively easy. As far as
