serYica com ma rat tiYely nonr

in other cities, such as Washington, the
omnibus routes have been short and their
service comparatively poor.
But in Europe the omnibus apparently
is the conqueror. London is not only the
largest city in the world, but 1t has the
most extensive and most diversified sys-
tenn of passenger traffic. The shallow
district railway, partly underground and
partly open. the deep-lying tubes. the
electric tranmcars and the intricate sys-
tenn of steam railway suburban traffic
have all been practically unchanged in
recent years. with the exception that ex-
tensions are constantly in progress. The
great change that has come over London
traffic has been brought about by the
introduction of the gasoline engine or, as
the English say, the petrol engine.
The horse-drawn omnibus was Lon
don's first effort to meet the traffic re-
quirements of modern city life. These
derground railways were started, and
even held on to a portion of their
patronage after the electric tramways
/ were installed This lease of life for the
| horse-drawn omnibuses probably was
due. however to the fact that the mar
row thoroughfares of the heart Of Lon
don have as yet never welcomed the
| street car track.
| About ten years ago experiments began
| to be made with power-driven omnibuses.
Five years ago the gasoline omnibus had
| almost driven the horse out of the busi-
ness, but as yet the old routes were OBJ
| served.
