| Description: | Trailer: A GAG - DON'T DEPRIVE OTHERS MORE WORTHY OF BUS SEATS asking people not to use public transport for short journeys. CU Bus stop pan down to bus queue.

The bus departs, leaving crowd of disappointed people who did not get on (including ATS servicewoman). George pays his fare to the bus conductress. CU Paying his fare. George gets off the bus only a short distance down the route - other passengers and the conductress look at him disapprovingly. He goes a one stop to the local pub, to the disgust of his fellow passengers. VS He gets off at next stop and goes into his public house. He enters the bar and drinks a beer, then... looking in the mirror.... he sees he's become a "transport hog," with a ludicrous pig's mask. VS Our character now walks short journeys. We see the stout fellow strolling along, passing the bus by. Shot of bus terminal with people queued (lined) up. Various shots of bus depot. End title superimposed over shot: "Walk Short Distances". | |
