Students On Buses

The Editor.

Hongkong Telegraph,

Sir-1 read a news item that the Kowloon Motor Bus Co. is contem- plating a scheme to present school childern from unnecessary bus rides but allowing them only 4 rides a day except Holktays and Sundays,

If that is true it will be hard on the students staying for from their schools. As you will see, four rides for some of the liona fide students will not be though. Take the case of a St. Mary's School staying at Kowloon Tong. She takes No. 7 to Star Ferry and thence to School by- No. 3. At in time the procedure la vice-versa until her return toj school, which is the same as in the morning. In the evening she goes} home by No. 3 and No. 7 buses again. Thus the total bona fide rides are eight so whint stail she do if the uckets allow only 4 ridest

It is only some of these hooliganlah school boys jumping from bus to bus for want of beller occupation of their time who gives the wrong impression that school students are abusing their senson ticket benefits.
