p. 65 · Read in the full issue
The greatest boost yet for Fiji’s comfort-conscious visitors—those travelling the road, at least—was the arrival in January of three 36-seat Mercedes-Benz coaches, acquired by Pacific Transport Ltd. at a cost of about $lOO,OOO.
The coaches—the most luxurious vehicles yet bought for Fiji’s public transport industry—arrived in the Dutch cargo ship Neder Lek.
Pacific Transport’s general manager, Mr. C. E. Chun, said it was hoped to put them into service on the Queen’s Road between Suva and Lautoka within a week.
The German coaches, he said, had proved suitable for rough conditions in Africa and Europe, where the British company. United Transport, has its operations. United Transport bought the major share of Pacific Transport last year.
