inconvenient to get in or cut of them and also
causing them to be top-heavy and easily up
set.
The ideal bus operated under as nearly ideal
conditions as it is possible to give street trans
portation at the present time, would be a low
under-slung vehicle built to resemble some
what the caterpillar type of trolley car now in
o~peration on Broadway in New York. The floor
Of the bus would be but one step from the
1rorns. These buses would have the right of
wav next to the curb and at each corner space
vvou1d be reserved for the buses to stop for
passengers who would not have to leave the
sidewalk. permitting all other forms of We
hicular traffic to move freely and without in-
;erruption in the middle of the street.
Where other vehicles have stopped along the
curb the bus. naturally. would have to pull
ont around them, but as traffic regulation In
all up-to-date cities forbid parking on busy
thoroughfares and with no trolley cars or
tracks occupying the middle of the street this
would not seriously interfere with the buses
keeping close to the curb, especially as there
would always be space reserved for them at
the curb on every corner .
With our paved, level streets and improved
highways in the country districts kept free OF
snow and other encumbrances at all times
such a type of bus is perfectly feasible.
To make such a change as is here suggested
would be to revolutionize street transportation
IT would mean the scrapping Of millions of dol
lars worth Of property in the form Of trolley
zz.. ou,a houses faad Wires. steel rails and
poles. But in the development of street trans
p~ortation some sacrifices have got to be made
for the sake of progress. As for the franchises
permitting trolley companies to operate on GER
tain city streets and public highways, we can
but repeat the sentiment reported to have
been expressed by Col. Gilmore. of the Public
Service Railway Company. in reference to the
abandonment Of the Public Service tracks on
Pine avenue in South Amboy from the ceme-
terry to the city line. When it was pointed out
that the Public Service franchise calls for run
ming cars to the city line Col. Gilmore is said to
have replied: The franchise be damned" Re-
cent rulings and court decisions have made the
not worth the paper they are written
on.
No organization, not even one as powerful
as the Public Service Corporation, can be per-
mitted to stand in the way of progress. II the
Public Service is wise It will aid rather than
hinder the logical development of street trans
The bus, or jitney as it is common
ly called, has come to stay. Properly con-
and operated 1t has many advantages
over the present slow. noisy. cumbersome
trolley car. 1t is apparent that the trolley has
reached the limit Of it's development. 1t was a
decided Improvement over the horse car and
the stagecoach, but it, in its turn, has got to
give way to more advanced means of travel.
This is to be found in the jitney bus now in its
infancy, but already a formidable rival to the
trolley car.
