§ 57. Captain BRASSasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the dangerous practice which exists in London during the busy hours of the evening of large numbers of would-be passengers all attempting to board motor omnibuses at the same time; and whether he can see his way to having the Paris system adopted, whereby intending passengers on arrival tear off small numbered tickets which are attached to the motor omnibus company's pavement standards and are then allowed to board the motor omnibuses in rotation?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONThe conditions under which omnibuses operate in 668 London are dissimilar from those in Paris, and my right hon. Friend is advised that any system such as is described would not be practicable.
§ Captain BRASSWill my bon. Friend give an assurance that some experiments will be made as to the system which is so useful in Paris?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI understand that the bus system in Paris is quite different owing to the fact that the bus routes overlap much less there than here and that the system would not be applicable to London.
