Straphangers' View of
ID. C.. Street Car Service

To the Editor of The Star:
The street car service in Washington!
That's bad. AS misery loves company,
the actual experience of a straphanger
may be of interest to some of your
readers, especially those who are COM
PEELED to use the street cars.
The day, Saturday, October Is; the
time. about 3 pm; the place, at
Ninth street, and the reason. waiting
for car marked Thirteenth and D
NE. After long wait a car marked
Lincoln Park crosses Ninth street and
anchors about halfway the length of
the loading platform. The platform is
long and room for variation in car
stops is ample. There is always an
uncertainty in the minds of passengers
as to the final resting place for cars.
the matter seeming to be at the dis
cretion of the motorman. The car
marked Lincoln Park was closely fol-
lowed by a car labeled Thirteenth and
D NE.-that seems to be the policy
OF this line; the cars always run in
f1ocks. like geese. After a sprint up
and down the loading platform. owing
to the uncertainty as to where the
car was going to stop. the strap
hanger finally got break and boarded
the car marked Thirteenth and D NE,
and had the privilege of depositing seven
and one-half cents as token of his
love and admiration for the modern
mode of transportation as exemplified
by WRECO.
When the car finally reached the
Union Station the motorman and the
man that is stationed there by the
street car company got together and
formed perfect huddle. Finally the
motorman of car numbered 701 said
to the man, White, make them get
off and into the next car" and the
passengers were compelled to take
the car that followed, number 708,
without the benefit of the printed trans
fer slip. and car numbered 701 was
switched off to 60 West.
Some people at the end of the line
had been waiting quite a while for
car to take them down town when
car 708 arrived. That is a sample of
the service that We get on that end of
that line. Both cars were pretty we'll
filled and after the transfer was ef-
fected car 708 was crowded.
The president of the Washington Rail-
way Electric Company refuses TO con-
slider the proposition of a five-cent
fare for short haul and is always
complaining about lack of patronage.
What does he expect? That the people
OF Washington should call at his Office
and pay him a cash tribute for the
benefit OF the stockholders?
