Bus stop

Sir: Peter Quince may be in- terested in the Israeli system of 'communal taxis'. These run on tha regular bus routes, charging a few pence more than the buses. Usually they wait at the bus ter- minus for a minimum of four pas- sengers, and call at the regular but stops. The service on offer is a useful one that could well be copied here. S.
