 This danger is multiplied at night. they say because the driver is un- able to see several trees which are situated alongside the road and into which he is more than likely to crash unless he keeps the bus well in the center of the road. It is their claim that this constitutes an extreme danger to persons who may be walking along the road.
 The concensus on the matter seems to be that some other place should be chosen for turning the cumbersome vehicles around. Many say that the bus should head into Hudson street and clear the main highway before any attempt is made to turn because when the swing is made from Worthington ridge the bus necessarily swings well out into the center of the road and consti- tutes a block against north and south bound traffic.
