AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

AMENDMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH MOTOR OMNIBUS FARES REGULATIONS

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

No. 4 of 1959

	At the moment the bus fare to Civic via Turner from the section stop at the junction of Westgarth and Tate Street (a distance of 1.7 miles) is 6d.  The fare on route 31 along Northbourne Avenue to Civil from Masson Street (a distance of .7 miles) is also 6d. and people travelling a further distance to Civic along this route have to pay 8d.  In order to place passengers from the Northbourne flats area on a similar basis to those in the Turner/O’Connor area, these regulations extend the present Northbourne Avenue section for route 31 so that it will be between MacArthur and Condamine Street.

	Secondly, with the introduction of a new bus service along Limestone Avenue to Dickson, it has become necessary to shift the section stop on the corner of Cowper Street and Toms Crescent to the intersection of Cowper Street and Limestone Avenue so that there will be only one section stop for both the Dickson route as well as routes going along Cowper Street.
