Summary edit

Description
English: Shows How To Get On And Off Tram

"A section of 'Safety Town' at the City Hall features an exhibit designed to instruct tram patrons in the correct manner of boarding and alighting from trams," said Mr. S. L. Quinn, general manager of the Brisbane City Council Transport Department.

"Uniformed instructors will explain methods of accident prevention, with the help of large illustrated posters showing the dangers of carelessness and too much hurry," he added.

A full-scale model of portion of the latest streamlined tram will enable instructors to demonstrate how safety may be ensured while travelling by tram.

An interesting feature of the exhibit is the display of scale-model trams dating from the earliest days to the latest streamlined models of tram, bus and trolleybus now under the control of the Brisbane City Council's Transport Department.

"Safety Town," which will be opened at the City Hall on Thursday, is sponsored by the Queensland Road Safety Council. Hours of inspection will be 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Admission will be free.
