Abstract
IN a paper read to the Royal Society of Arts on December 11, Mr. Frank Pick discussed the organisation of London transport with special reference to the London Passenger Transport Board. He pointed out that progress in conceiving and organising London has been unequal and unbalanced. The L.P.T.B. enjoys at present a certain uniqueness of character which makes its study useful and advantageous. There is a drawback in the fact that the suburban services of the main line railways, representing 273 million car miles, are still dispersed in the hands of four amalgamated companies. These services represented in car miles 34 per cent of the whole, or in passengers 13 per cent of the whole.
