New England Transportation Co.
 Announces Plans

New Haven. Sept. o9 Motor bus operation has developed by the New England Transportation company subsidiary of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad at many points on it's system, will be advanced October l, when the com pany will open q New York 10 Bos ton route.
 The company has operated bus routes conjunctively with train schedules with arrival and depart ure times as part Of the New Ha- ven roads time tables. The trans portation company now goes into new field, which may, it is expected, develop a tourist business over the old Boston Post road with an ap- peal in the trip 10 those who desirs 10 sec southern New England in all its scenic beauty.
 Private busses have been operating for several years between New York and Boston but latterly under restrictions set up In Connecticut which did not permit them to take passengers at termini for points within the state nor pick up pas sensers in the state for destinations within 1t. The New Haven road fought for several years against en- croachment of privately owned lines on its passenger business within the state and its trolley subsidiary-the Connecticut company, fought with equal determination bus lines which were organized to meet local traf- nc conditions.
 Several legislatures tried to set tie the transportation problems and in the end turned the whole subject over to the public utilities commis- sion with public convenience and necessity as its guide board.
 The New Haven road formed Its transportation company to handle long distance operations and estab- lished many lines, important ones radiating from this city and Hart ford. The Connecticut company went into the bus business 10 re- place trolley lines which were non  which private companies were try ing to solve. Nearly all trolley mile age in Connecticut belongs to the Connecticut company. The New Ha, ven road by use of it's transportation company has been able to discon. tinue some short lines and eliminate stops at smaller stations. The trol. ley company's busses in some in stances replaced trolley lines which were non- payers and in others serv- ed as feeders" for regular routes.
 There are several long distanc, bus routes privately owned In ths state but the tendency the past veal has been for private companies tt relinquish to the transportation company. Recently. the latter ac quired routes between Hartford ant Waterbury by the way of Winsted and a few days ago when the trans portation company and privat company were applicants for a rout between Waterbury and Hartfor by the way Of Milldale and South ington, and hearing had been hell the transportation company was lief as the sole applicant and was givel the route.
 Private bus companies operating between Boston and New York hay been for the most part over inlan' lines by the way Of Worcester an Springfield. The New Englant Transportation company's announc ment is that its route will be b the way of Stamford, Bridgeport New Haven, New London and Prov idence.
 A private company also has oper ating rights between this city an New London.
 It Is understood here that opera ton of the new route will be fror the terminal rather than from thi city.
