IS NOW SPFIJ 6 DOOM OF STREET CAR 0lTaMaHT

having already Travelled distance of
more than 4O.0G0.000 miles.
In the words OF Mayor Hylan. THE
day of the street surface cars has
gone forever, and 1t will not be long
before New York will have trackless
streets"
In one year. ended October 81, 1919,
the Chicago Motor Bus Company car
ried in its buses of ffty-one passenger
capacity, 4,1e6.20s persons on 5S,021
round trips. This represents an in
crease from a daily average of 2.2o9
passengers in 1917 to 1896 in 1919.
This company has recently introduced
a new type OF bus with inclosed seats
on top that will accommodate sixty
passengers.
Operating Methods.
Although the universal use of motor
buses for passenger transportation
is apparently inevita bic, their success
depends entirely upon certain ele-
ments of organization and operating
methods. Bus operators of the pres
ent and of the future may we'll profit
by the experiences of the so-called
jitney lines that have failed through
loose organization and cut-throat
methods of competition. The major
ity OF these lines were operated by
eX-chauffeurs and teamsters, who, be-
cause OF the liberal credit extended
by truck dealers, could do business
with very little capital.
Although their equipment was in
most cases inferior. they assumed
that IL could be operated for as little
AS the high grade and more expensive
vehicles that are found in the meets
OF successful bus line operators. The
unsuccessful operator estimated the
cost of gasoline, oil, tires. and
drivers. wages, and added to this his
garage rent and interest on notes
On a basis of what it cost him, plus
his profit, he found that he could
charge a lower rate than his competi-
tors.
Successful operators know that ex-
penses involving the following items
must be taken into consideration:
Fixed ges-Amortization IRE
serve for depreciation). interest on
investment, insurance; fire. transpor-
tation and theft: public liability and
property damage. collision, overhead,
administration requirements. taxes,
licenses.
Lew Rates Charged.
The low rates charged by unin-
formed operators imperil the business
OF those who know their costs. Al
though the informed operator knows
that his competitors are losing money
and will sooner or later be forced to
give up their business because they
have/no reserve to repair or replace
worn -out buses, he is helpless to OBJ
tain business in the face of their
competition. as he knows that he
cannot lower his own rates. For
this reason franchises should be
given only when there is assurance
that the operator has made careful
study of the undertaking.
An interesting analysis Of the
costs of motor bus operation was
made recently in New York city by
the commissioner of plant and struc-
lures to the board of estimate The
proposal was for a permanent mu-
