Transport al ion Efficiency and Scent Fare
PHILADELPHIA traction conditions are
/ worthy OF study. They are OF particular
interest to Richmond where the traction COM
pany is demanding higher fares on the ground
that its present revenues are not sufficient
for its maintenance They should be OF equal
interest to those $50 cities that pay fares
ranging from to 10 cents, well as 10
the sixty-two whose traction companies have
failed to stem the rising tide Of high costs
and have been forced into the hands OF re-
ceivers. What makes the Philadelphia situa-
ton unique is that in this day Of lofty prices
and the chorus OF demands for higher fares,
its transit company has not only stuck to the
5-cent fare but would not increase it if it
could. In proof Of its wisdom it points to
earnings OF $50, 900 during the past iis-
cal year. Not bad record that, nor weak
argument Ill support of it's theory that low
fares attract patronage and build up the
transportation system, while high fares re-
pei passengers and tear it down
But combined with its rigid adherence to
The iow-fare policy is an efficiency system
through which high figures for maintenance
improvements and labor have been combated
and overcome If this can be done in Pha-
delpha why can ii not be done in Richmond
and elsewhere? Conditions may not be OK
actly similar. but the basic principles under
lying the operation Of these public service
corporations are the same everywhere and
those that work to the company's prosperity
and the public welfare in Philadelphia will
work out just that way in Richmond il given
fair trial. Many OF the economies adopted
in philadelphia are practiced here and hSve
been found efficient but the local company
is not yet convinced that enough new patron
age will be attracted by moderate fares to
justify il in retaining them. Here is one
difference. The Philadelphia company has
not stood still and depended on established
lines for increased patronage It has reached
out into the surrounding country and helped
10 develop the suburban districts thereby
creating patronage. That has not been done
IN Richmond whose rich outlying sections
maze been left practically without transpor-
tatlon These sections are rich in poten-
tiatics. and with the street car lines ex-
tended would furnish homes for thousands
OF people, each one OF whom would be
street car patron. But they cannot be de-
Veioped without adequate transportation, and
that can be furnished only by the street car
company. The latter, unlike the Philadel-
phia company, prefers to wait until the
suburban territory is settled and it can find
patronage ready to its hand before risking
any extension OF its lines Each waits on
the other, and neither gets anywhere
These things worth thinking over
Richmond people do not want to pay in
creased fares without being convinced thai
they are necessary to the financial salvation
OF the company. and it will be difficult to
convince them that it is when the resources
or rich territory have barely been touched
much less exhausted
