Believes THE JTNEY'
HAS COME TO stay
G. j. Stevens, of International Harves-
ter Company, Gives Some Interest
ing Data About the New Transpor-
tation Plan

C. J. Stevens, 619 Walnut street,
manager of the Motor Truck Depart
ment of the International Harvester
Company, has the following to say
about the jitney bus business:
''The motor bus or 'jitney' passen.
ger transportation system, soon to be
enlarged in Harrisburg, is meeting the
approval of our citizens, if we are TO
Judge bv the favorable comments heard
on all sides, and many of the incon-
venicnces and displeasures of the past
will be minimized.
"The public of this country is just
awakening to the advantages and pos
sibilities of motor transportation. The
service will not be confined to the cit.
les, but will enter the smaller towns,
especially the inland points not having
good railroad or street car accommo-
dations.
"It is also true that certain other
interests will be affected by this de-
velopment of motor passenger transpor-
tation, and the public will be deeply
interested in legislation to be enacted
controlling this new and up-to-date con-
venienee for the general public.
Thousands of motor buses, includ-
ing 'jitney' lines, have made their ap-
pearanee in different parts of this
country during the last few months,
making good on profitable basis,
showing the peoples endorsement of
the new system. In far-off Vancouver
the motor buses and 'jitney' units show
receipts averaging $4,000 per month.
The Term "Jitney''
'Jitney' is term of Russian,
japanese or sporting circle origin, and
'jitney' bus is any automobile or mo-
tor truck which is used to carry pas
sengers at 'jitney fare, five cents.
'From the way in which the 'jit.
ney' bus has taken hold there is moth
ing to indicate that it is fad. The
manner in which many cities have been
taken by storm by the 'jitneys' is il
lustrated by the experience in Kansas
City, Within a week after the first
jitney' went into operation the num-
Der was increased to eighty, and within
two weeks it had increased to one hun
dred and fifty. Many similar cases
are recorded, showing the foregone
conclusion that the 'jitney' lines have
come to stay. When We consider this
new means of transportation we can
clearly see many reasons why this new
system is needed and in all probability
will become a permanent institution.
"In all cities of moderate size the
former systems have been unable to
handle the traffic during the rush hours,
causing congestion and crowding. The
strap-hangers have complained loud and
long, with no relief in sight until the
advent of the 'jitney' transportation
system. An army of 'jitneys' is like
relief corps, which swoops down upon
The star-independent. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1904-1917, 1915-05-05

'he crowded corners, carrying away the
people to their homes or destination.
There are sections of every city
not having regular transportation lines,
while there are residence sections
where noisy systems will not be per-
mitted. Such sections are particularly
favorable to the 'iitney' line, and all
parties will be made happy. The 'jit-
ney' lines operating in some of the
western cities, with daily receipts, are
as follows: Portland, 10 cars, $500;
San Francisco, 500 ears, 400; Trans
bay Cities, ~45O ears, $4,000; Seattle,
500 ears, 1900; Los Angeles. 1850
ears, sS,400. This shows an average
of SS day for each 'iitney.'
Another Advantage
"Another advantage of this new sys,
TEN is that the whole system cannot be
tied up or blockaded by one or more
units meeting with some minor accident,
such as frequently occurs.
"The success of the investment ven
ture viii depend largely on the kind of
ears adopted. 1t has been decided that
each car should seat from eight to
twelve passengers, and the difference
pSt"VVh SoAIu anu Phouiidtic tilcS Will
largely represent the profits or losses.
Solid tires will undoubtedly be neces-
sary if passengers are to be carried at
a profit at jitney' fare. The numerous
delays occasioned by pneumatic tire
troubles could not long be tolerated,
and they occasion an extra heavy ex-
pense. If the principles of good busi-
ness judgment are observed in selecting
the ears least liable to cause delays on
account of tire and motor trouble, the
iitney' bus venture will be an at
tractive proposition.
"The ear of medium capacity, manu-
factured by good, reliable firm, hav-
ing supply house within easy reach
for any emergency, reliable service
station in charge of competent experts,
will minimize such delays and largely
determine the success and profits in the
venture. Investigate the reliability of
the manufacturers and their ready
equipment to safeguard your future pro
lection before making the selection of
cars - Adv
