a population Of 100000 to Meadville, Pa,
with a population Of 10000. Some Of the
larger cities on the list are Pittsburgh,
Portland, New Haven, Fall River, Lowell
and Bridgeport. .@...
AS many more cities are now engaged
in heated controversies regarding the In.
creased fare.
The transportation problem is one of the
biggest and most vital now confronting
American cities. The universal fve-cent
fare, with unlimited rides, has done more
to prevent overcrowding in large cities
than any one other factor. In any city Of
100000 or more, it is possible to ride five,
ten, or even fifteen and twenty miles for
a nickel. This has made suburban resi-
dences possible, for it costs no more for a
half hour ride than for a fve-minute one,
although the latter is much more profitable
for the traction company. The "cream Of
the traffic" is in the short hauls, and these
short hauls have more than made good the
loss on the long hauls, in the past.
But the jitney and the increased use of
automobiles have SO cut into short haul
traffic, that street railway profits have
shrunk almost to the vanishing point in
many cities.
If service is to be maintained at present
standards, it is necessary, with the de-
creased business and the soaring costs, to
increase the fare to six cents or to intro
duce the zone system. The zone system,
with fares ranging from two or three
cents to ten cents or higher, according to
the length Of the ride, means crowded GEN.
ters Of population, tenements, and the dis
couragement of suburban home building.
