with passengers and luggage. these
busses have little difficulty in over

accurate schedule against considerable
natural odds. The Hagerstown bus
terminal is at Thirteenth and e streets.
Runs Of considerable length are
made daily by the Tidewater line,
whose busses 60 as far down into
southern Maryland as Leonardtown

Washington Motor Coach Company,
which maintains a terminal at Four
teenth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue., and makes 16 trips daily. The As
mile one-way passage from station to
station is made in one hour and
three quarters, an average which the
Washington motorist will concede is q
thoroughly excellent one.
Perhaps no other bus trip is better
known to greater proportion of mo-
torists and others than the one to
Baltimore, and 1t is freely acknowl-
edged among those who make the

sire to give the right of way to these
busses often are compelled 10 do so

engine humming, with the utmost
comfort and safety to passengers.
The Washington Motor Coach Com
pany. in addition to running the Bal
timore line, also operates a Washing
ton-Annapolis system. Four trips are
made daily, and the same time is re-
quired as for the Baltimore run. The
Washington, Marlboro and Annapolis
Company also operates line to the

| which serve to make Bladensburg a
| bus city" are the two Philadelphia
systems, one Baltimore line, one New
York bus, one Laurel line and a bus
| to East Riverdale and BladensburE
School.
From the w. r. & L. starting point
at Fifteenth and Fl streets northeast
the run to the Bladensburg School is
| made in 13 minutes, with 66 trips a
| day, while the other run, through Bla-
densburg to East Riverdale, is accom-
plished in 10 minutes, with 38 trips a
day.
From Washington out the Bladens-
burg road the bus situation comprises
six lines from the Capital, five from
8lanedsburg to Laurel, four from Lau
rel to Baltimore, two to Philadelphia
and one on through to New York City.
The Bladensburg road is. therefore,
the most traversed by busses emanat-
ing from the Capital and has become
the leading artery by which this city
is connected with the larger cities Of
the North by motor coach transpor-
tation.
Roads leading out of Washington to
Virginia are becoming more and more
crowded with the fast-moving, clean
limbed adjuncts of the already exist
ing transportation systems, and from
the Capital to Cherrydale and through
to Fairfax are found four lines. From
Washington to Fairfax Court House,
a quantity charming old Virginia
town, the busses of the Lee Highway
Co. maintain schedule which calls
for six trips a day, allowing 62 min
utes one way for each trip. The Fair
fax busses leave from Twelfth street
and Pennsylvania avenue. Over the
same route this company operates
busses to Falls Church, making Is
trips day. The time is 40 minutes.
The justly famous caverns of Luray
attract thousands of visitors each
year. and large number Of them are
carried by the Washington-Luray Co..
which operates from Eighth street and
Louisiana avenue. Two trips are
made each day, four hours being con-
sumed in making the one-way passage
through some of the most strikingly
beautiful scenery to be found in this
section Of the country.
