IS AUTO TOURING CHEAPER
THAN PAYING FARES ON TRAINS
Visiting New York Owners of Three Grades of
Cars Compare Notes, Getting Some Startling
Figures on Actual Penny-Mile Costs.

added in insurance and the total
cost came to s71.5o. Here are the
figures, check them for yourself.
1 know they are right.
Now, then" he concluded, three
railroad fares would have cost US
three times s34.73. which is S104.19.
but by auto with all these things
figured in, the three of us made the
grip for just S7l.50."
Then they took up the case OF
the second man, whose car was in
the $4,000 class. He had taken his
wife and two children along. His
actual operating cost. including
gas, oil and repairs, was S64.36
Taking his 80 by 4 cord tires as
having a life of 5000 miles, and
the car itself as being good for
10000 miles. they added the proper
depreciation and figured that his
total cost was $115.S3. II he haC
gone by train 1t would have cos'
him s23 more, or Sl3S.s2.
We'll, I don't know" said the
third man, whose car was in the
$1,000 class. I'm afraid the only
way could get out on that would
De 10 take a pretty good load o.
passengers. AS a matter of fact
there were six of us in the party
Let's see how that figures up"
His operating cost by auto wa!
sS7.s5. His total cost, including in
terest OH his investment, deprecia
ton on his car on the basis of ,
life of $4,000 miles and on his 9
by S cord tires of 5000 miles, plu
interest, insurance and the like
totaled s1s5.20. With six railroa'
fares at s34.73 1t would have rul
to s2oS.3s. so he saved a little bet
ter than S13, as against travelling
by train. Y
We'll. what did I tell your sal
the first man triumphantly.
Il wouldn't have believed 1t II
hadn't seen the figures" said tn
other two men.
The Washington herald., 1921-09-25

The vacation season was coming
TO an end.
Three men were talking over
their experiences.
'I drove through to Washington
and down into Richmond with my
wife and boy" said one of them,
and 1 have just figured out that
the trip cost US less than II we had
gone by train"
The other two men pricked up
their ears. Each of them, as II
happened, had also driven across
Pennsylvania and Maryland intc
the South with their families,
Your car cost you less than
$1,000" said one of them. That
makes a difference. I drove my bis
ar through and / don't believe
that would hold true in my case
We'll. let's sit down and ngurs
it out" said the first man. AND
they did.
Here are the results.
OF the three cars one was in thu
class costing less than $1,000, th'
,ccond cost around $4,000 and thu
third cost over $4,000. 49,.
The railroad fare to Richmond
from upstate New York, including
Pullman. is s34.73.
The man with the little ca
pulled out his red notebook. Her

averaged 20 cents a gallon and oi
81 per gallon: adding minor repair
and maintenance makes the who'll

SIXTEEN BUSES
WILL BE ADDED TO
CAPITAL SERVICE
President Reed Says Ten
viii Go Into Opera
tion Very Soon.

. A abatement was given out yes7
ferday by W.; Elkins Reed, presi-
dent OF the Washington Rapid
Transit Company. to the effect that
their motor bus service was to be
extended immediately.
The present service operates on
three routes--Eighth and Pennsyi-
vania, Potomac Park and Haines
Point. There are fourteen buses
operating over these routes and II
is reported .byi the company that
in the first six months II has
handled over 100000 passengers.
Plans to Add 10 Buses.
front of. u.s." says Mr.. Reed. I'VE
have decided on large program
OF expansion. which means. that we
will install sixteen brand new buses
OF a similar type. Ten Of these
will go into operation within the
next three weeks and the balance
soon after the first Of November.
ION account of the growing pop
dlarity of this motor bus service"
continues Mr.. Reed, the Federal
Utilities Commission has granted us
two new franchises which require
the installation Of these additional
buses.
IN London, Paris. New York.
Chicago and Detroit the motor bus
has been a pronounced success. both
from the standpoint of serving the
public as well as bringing good re-
turns to its stockholders.
Can't Use Double-Deckcrs.
in some Of the cities the pre-
vailing type of bus is what is known
as the 'double-deck bus ! wish to
explain. however. that this type of
bus Is not practical in Washing
ton. for due to it's large trees, the
bus has to be built lower down-so
much lower in fact that the upper
deck could not be used. So we have
confined ourselves to the very lat
est and finest type of single-deck
bus. Yet this has many advantages
for the double-deck bus has to run
on solid tires. whereas the wash
ington type OF bus can run on pneu-
matte tires, which means greater
riding comfort to our patrons and
more economy in operation.
Many of the officials of the
Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany have been connected with. oi
close observers, of other motor bus
lines as they have been installed
and put into operation in othei
cities. But never in their expert,
ence have they found a bus tha'
was so singularly successful as tha'
OF the Washington service. Ant
while we are adding sixteen new
buses now, / believe IL will onl,
be a matter OF a very short tim,
before It will be necessary to add
and continue to add. in units o.
sixteen, as Washington continues
to enjoy, appreciate and use oui
fine modern motor buses"
Assists Street Cars.
When questioned as to his atti
tude in relation to street cars, Mr.
Reed quickly came back with tn,
retort that they had no idea of in
terfering with the street car bust
ness. What the motor bus simpl!
did was to assist the street car, II
other large cities both the stree
car and the motor bus are a success
There is room for both. There Il
need for Both, and the law make
provision for both. Therefore. GER
tainly the citizens of Washington
/ should have both.
