Bus Line Lays Down Rules for Drivers, Nov. 28, 1924

Bus Drivers Must Not Speed, Drink, or Smoke, Say Bosses

Greensboro, Nov. 27—Bus drivers mustn’t speed, mustn’t drink, mustn’t smoke and mustn’t break any of the laws of the nation, state, county and municipality, they were told in a meeting of drivers and officials of the bus line, held at the terminal here.

There is no use in having accidents, an official of the Travelers Insurance company told them, giving the chief reasons for accidents as bad routing, overcrowding, defective brakes and speeding.

Bus drivers who violate the rules will be discharged, they were told.

The concern now has 15 men riding constantly in buses to check up on drivers, it was stated.
