THE mo SEAT, NO FARE" SYSTEM.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Many complaints and suggestions have oeen
published in the newspapers in regard to the over
crowding OF streetcars and among others, the
suggestion of no seat. fare rule As one
who has seen the working OF this system IN Paris'
of allowing only such people could find seats to
enter public vehicle. may say a word about 1t?
OF course none of streetcars would stop
after the seats were full. for non-pay1ng passen-
gers so that the effect of the rule would be tnat
we should constantly be left standing in the
street as In the case in Paris. There df the sys-
TEN has not changed latsly) the streetcars ana
omnibuses stop at little stations. where passengers
receive a ticket, on which is number. When the
next vehicle arrives, after you have taken num-
ber you rush hopefully Its door, TO listen 10
the numbers called by the conductor. yours De-
ing perhaps g. he calls 81 and IS, and two people
holding those numbers get in. after which ne CANS
'complet" and goes his way. The next car or
omnibus approaches. and there is but one vacant
seat or standing place Cfor they allow two or three
people on the platforn1y, and only number is
called The next time there are two numbers; the
next, one, and on. until. when you are nearly
ready to drop with fatigue. you give up waiting
for your own number. still far ahead, and take e
cab wishing you mad done SO long ago.
In Paris however. you can get a cab for 30 cents
and the expected fee OF five ten cents. while In
New-York City people Of small or even moderate
means cannot indulge in them often, and must
therefore depend upon the streetcars. To such the
plan of no seat, no fare would simply mean
despair. T.
