"The greatest menace on tha
highway today fa) the unregulated
bus," says J. Maxwell Smith, General Manager of tbe Keystone Automobile Club, fat a statement issued
recently.
"In competition with trains on
rails, express busses tear down the
highways aa if they owned the right
sf way upoa which they operate,"
he continued.
"Tbe Whtte Basse Pike is a hor.
rlble aramphi ef a buss speedway,
made unsafe by the reckless operation ef busses which are regulated
only by s desire for speed.
"Taking advantage of the 'right
if weight' the busses dash down the
center of the highway, giving quart
er to.none, screeching through dense traffic, breaking all laws of the
road sad of common Sense wtth
nought to cheek them.
"Th* majority ef theee busses
belong to tbe great utility corporations.
"Bet when th* vigilant Nsw Jersey Police si tested the drivers oa
charges of speeding or reckless driving the only effect to to cause the
poor unfortunate* cog in the machin
cry ths less ef his Bvelihood. Another driver—-bending his. will to meet
tb* dractic schedules laid down by
the great utilitites is soon speeding
down th* highway ia ths asms reckless manner—la the samejaugger-
nsjst*
"The bus companies are a , unit
ia putting th* responsibility for
this reckless opertion upon the driver*.
"The driven oa the other hand
state that schedules cannot be maintained unless high speed to made.
Ia thia statement they are probably
cornet. At least on* schedule allows but 10 minutes from Central
Philadelphia to the other end of the
■P*3o~are River Bridge-—* trip
Thflistg- 8* iii i hi I ni trafftt'"t*l« ortiV-
narily takes twenty minutes for a
safe driver. Is it any wonder that
S driver finds himself 10 minutes
behind schedule snd tries to make
up tiie lost time to keep hto job.
"Th* remedy seems to us to be
a penaty en the owners of the bus
lines rather than tiie drivers.
"There to at present no power
that can regulate interstate bus
traffic Congress has failed to enact
the Parker Bus Bill which would
have created a commission to
supervise such • interstate operation
and until such legislation to provided schedules can be made, broken or
changed  with impunity.
"Banning the vehicles from the
road which have been proven guilty
of reckless operation would cure
the trouble st the source. As soon
as the big utility companies found
thst a fleet of their buses were tied
up and unable to operate schedules
would be mads thst would not put
a premium! on reckless operation
and drivers would be instructed to
adhere to those schedules.
"The Keystone Automobile Club
recently brought thto matter to tee
attention of Commissioner ef Motor
Vehicles, Harold G. Hoffman of
New Jersey, who replied that he was
cognizant of ths situatiton and was
taking every means to cope with the
situation.
"Mr. Hoffman stated that more
than 100 convictions of bus owners
and driver* for infractions of motor
vehicle laws had been obtained last
week.

By this time everybody realizes
that buses snd large moving vans
see ws infernal nuisance on the
highway stud /the jprrdjlege should
never bave"been granted, and possibly the Legislature to aware by now
that a monumental pises of blunder-
eng legislation was passed and enacted into law. It to not too late to
corretjt the mistake and it to to be
hoped that th* incoming legislator*
will pass aa aet greatly limiting
the speed of buses, if aot ruling
