ANOTHERP[AN
FOR RbUSL|NES
New System to be Given Try
out Here, Starting This
Coming Monday
TRANSFERS TO STATE ST.
Transfer Bus Alone Will Run
on That Street All Others
on Smith Street

Another bus arrangement will be
given try-out here commencing
Monday, as the result of new idea
conceived by Alderman Albert G..
Waters, chairman of the aldermanic
bus committee. The various bus
owners were present at the meeting
of the aldermen last night and all
expressed their Willingness to try out
the new system, being satisfied with
it's prospects. State street merchants
who have asked for bus service, are
satisfied with the new arrangement,
Alderman Waters told the board,
and the Smith street business men
also favor the new plan. In addition
to these persons being willing that
the new plan be given a try-out it
Is claimed that there are many resi-
dents who will benefit by the bus
service who heretofore have not had
the buses go through their section.
The plan as worked out by Alder
man Waters will go into effect next
week and will be tried out. If found
successful after a fair trial it will
be maintained. otherwise the pres
ent system will be reverted to.
No Direct State st. Buses
All of the buses leaving the city
wick and Woodbridge routes will
now go directly out Smith street, in
stead of every other one continuing
on State street as has been the GUS
tom of late and these same buses
upon coming into the city will go
over their original routes taking
them down Smith street. direct to the
terminal without touching any part
of State street.
In order to supply buses for those
desiring to go along State street.
there will be bus to meet each in
coming bus. Transfers will be given
to anyone desiring one, without an
additional charge and patrons so de-
string can then come into the city
by way OF State street instead or
Smith street. if they so wish.
To Issue Transfers
All incoming buses from Metuchen
and New Brunswick will be met at
the corner of Laurie street and New
Brunswick avenue by bus to which
passengers wishing to go over the
State street route will be transferred
All Incoming buses from the north
including woodbridge and Roosevent
will stop at Laurie street and AM
boy avenue to transfer passengers
desirous of going to State street over
the new route.
These buses carrying the transfer
passengers will meet every incoming
bus. doing away with any delay on
the part of passengers in waiting for
the bus to pick them up.
The route covered by these buses
having transfer passengers will be
east on Laurie street to Penn street.
to Washington street, to East ave-
nue., to Broad street, to State street,
to Smith street and the ferry. These
buses will travel over the reverse of
this route in going back to their
stations at Laurie street and New
Brunswick avenue or Laurie street,
and Amboy avenue. This new sys-
tenn gives residents along Laurie ST.,
Penn street, Washington street and
East avenue service where they have
had none before.
To Run on Schedule.
The buses will be compelled to
run on scheduled time so that every
incoming bus will be met at the
places designated by the transfer
car. Incoming buses from South
Amboy, stopping at State and Smith
street, will give transfers over the
State street route when so requested.
Alderman Waters points out that
the service resulting from this
change should be 100 per cent. bet
ter than under the old system as
then every other bus went over the
State street route whereas now every
incoming bus will be met and the
transfer buses will go over the same
route again in returning to their
stations.
