The undoubted advantages produced by the amalgamation of the Omnibuses of Paris , have originated the plan of concentrating , in one Great Enterprise , the several Associations now working the Omnibuses of London . If in Paris this amalgamation has made the Capital connected with it the moat productive of any employed in locomotion , it Is destined to produce in London effects of still greater importance . Not only will large savings be effected , in the present cost of working the omnibuses of London by a system which , being well organised in all itn details , and at the same time amply supplying the wants of the public , will ennblo the company to withdraw duplicate and in some cases triplicate vehicles running over the same ground at the dame time , but important improvements , a like advantageous to the public and profitable to the company , will he introduced . As regards the Public : —A complete regularity in the service , which will confer nil the advantages that in this respect Paris possesses over London , combined with speed ; the adoption of a low soalo of charges , and the certainty that there will be no frequent and sudden changes in their amount ; the departures and arrivals taking place at precise times , and in accordance with a time bill , which will be published monthly , on the plan of tho railway time tables . As regards the Shareholders;—The receipts of tho London omnibuses average £ 2 7 s . a-day each , and the oxponues , ineluding wear and tear , about £ 2 la . Cd . ; this gives in the present state a nett profit of about . £ 100 a-year per omnibus uader the improved system of working tula profit would beyond doubt bo considerably Increased . The average receipts of each of tho Paris omnibuses before the amalgamation were about X" 2 Ss . a day ; alnoo the amalgamation their dally average la £% 17 s , cd . In England , horeo-keop—tho most expensive Item , connected with omnibuses—costs less than in Paris . The Paris Omnibus Company is liable , whenever tho profits reaoh a certain per oentago on tho capital , to have tho annual tax to which It is subjected inoroascd by order of the Government . No euoh power exists either with tho J ^ p glfoh Government or with tho municipality of London , The purchase of a London omnibus comprises , as In Varla , toe omnibus , Its appurtenanocB , as well as the goodwill or " Unto * " of th « omnibus .
