Railway Problems in
New York and Chicago
AS Well as New Jersey

Recent reports of the transportation systems of New York and Chicago
emphasize the fact that people Of New Jersey IRE lot the only ones who arr
confronted with street railway problems
-Four passenger-carying companies in Manhattan and The Bronx an
nounce through the press that during the last six months of 1920 they suffer
ed deficits that aggregated $4486467.
Out in Chicago where they have had an eighteent fare for SOM time,
the street railways did better, the report of the Chicago City Railways for
the. fiscal wear ending January 81, 1921, showing that the companys gross
receipts exceeded its operating expenses by a reasonable margin
In the newspaper reports of the Chicago companys operations appear
this significant paragraph:
Leonard A. Busby, president, in his report to the stock
holders said that ION the basis of the present wage scale a FIVE
cent fare would fall short by mOret than 100000 a year of pay
ing operating expenses
New York is the largest city in the country. Chicago comes next No
where else in the land are there more favorable markets for transportation
companies They have more population and moret ransents, in whom the rid
ing habit is highly developed than any other cities. and yet New York oe
of the few places wherefvecent fares still prevail, falls nearly $50oo0D
Short over a six months period, and Chicago gets by only because it has an
eghteent fare.
vice has been discontinued on a number of surface lines and in numerous
instances two, or even three, fare. aree charged for rides that formerly could
be had for a single fare, so that while the fve7eent units nominaly retained,
aIarge percentage of riders now pay ten o fifteen cent. for what used to cost
five.
From a street railway standpoint, both the New York and Chicago com
panes have many advantages overP Public Service Railway. They have mil
lions more riders to cater to. They have less territory to cover The density
Of their traffic is much greater. Their earnings per mile of track are larger.
They have no jtney competition to speak of Yet New York is falling behind
and Chicago is able o live only because, with all the other things in its favor,
it has an eightcent fare.
Nobody will deny that transportation facilities are essential to the pro-
gress of every community and it must have been that the Federal Electric
Railways Commission had in mind such conditions as exist in New York and
in Chicago and o no less extent in New Jersey, when it reached the conclusion
Unless the usefulness of the electric railways is to be sacrificed,
public control must be flexible enough to enable them to secure suni-
cent revenues to pay the entire cost of the service rendered. including
the necessary cost of both capital and labor"
