asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he will consider recommending the issue of six-day tickets to regular travellers on omnibuses in order to save labour and paper?

In some areas, where omnibus season tickets and cheap return tickets have been withdrawn in order to discourage non-essential travel, weekly twelve-journey and other multiple-journey tickets have been introduced to meet the needs of regular travellers. Regard is, however, had to the conditions and needs of each area and, I do not think that labour would necessarily be saved, or any substantial paper economy achieved, by the universal adoption of multiple-journey tickets.
