Buses Losing rs Pct. of Time
In Delays at Traffic Lights
Transit Company Engineers Reach
Conclusion After Study of Condi-
tions on Thirteenth Street.

This is the tiueltth OF a series OF
articles dealing NTH the mass
transportation problem in Wash
inoton.
BY JOHN III. CLINE.
Buses running on Thirteenth street
from Massachusetts avenue to E
street lose an average of about rs
per cent of their operating time as a
result of being held up by tratfic
lights.
This conclusion has been reached
by engineers for the Capital Transit
Co., who have been making study
of the part played by traffic lights
in the mass transportation problem
here.
The Thirteenth street study is the
first of its kind made in this section
of the country.
I'VE realize that We have been a
little slow getting into this traffic
light situation" William B. Bennett,
assistant to the president of the conf
pany, said but since the lights figure
so prominently in our business we
think it is up to us to see if any
means of improving the traffic condi-
tions can be devised.
Private Cars Mainly Considered.
I'm arranging light cycles in the
past, principal consideration has been
given the requirements OF private
automobiles. This, in our opinion, is
not right, since large busses and street
cars carry on the average 80 times
as many passengers as private cars.
We believe the interests of the great
majority of the public would be served
better if more consideration were
given the needs of the mass trans
portation vehicles in traffic light
operation"
John B. Ecker, jr., one of the two
engineers making the study, found the
average bus time for the trip during
the morning rush period is min
utes and 38 seconds. The average
time of a private automobile for the
trip, a distance of about 5000 feet,
is 3 minutes and 3 seconds.
Northbound busses during the
morning rush period lose 25 per cent
of their operating time while waiting
for traffic lights on the section OF
Thirteenth street covered by the sur
vey. During the midday period, the
lights account for % per cent of the
opera ting time and 25 per cent during
the evening rush.
30 Per Cent Lost in Morning.
Southbound, they lose 80 per cent
of their time during the morning
rush, % per cent during the midday
period and Is per cent in the evening
rush.
These percentages are all averages
the tests having disclosed that actual
time lost ranged from 10 per cent
to SO per cent.
Ecker said they had not as yet
determined the effect of the lights
on private automobiles. but they have
found that buses are stopped more
frequently by the red lights.
The study has shown, however
that the average northbound speed ol
an automobile during the morning
rush period is 1877 miles per hour, ano
the average southbound speed is
1875 miles per hour. The correspond
ing times for busses are 104 miles
northbound and 8.3 miles southbouno
These operating times are based
on calculations excluding lost time
attributable to traffic lights.
Evening star., 1936-05-28

During the evening rush, the busses
average 7.8 miles an hour on the
northbound trip and 9.8 miles south
bound.
The slower operating time in the
evening, Ecker said, is due to the
fact that about is per cent of the
people who come downtown during
the midday remain there until the
evening rush starts, and have to be
transported to their homes along with
those who make the daily morning and
evening trips.
Not Near Recommendations.
Ecker said the study has not pro-
gressed to the point where the COM
pany can make any specific recon-
mendation for changes in the light
cycles
1t is believed, however, that
change in the timing of the lights
will result in a decrease in the time
lost by buSses and street cars through
out the city.
During the last three years the
company has made remarkable gains
In the number of passengers carried,
but so far as its net profits are con-
cerned, these gains have been offset
by increases in operating expenses.
The principal factor in the rise of
operating expenses is a substantial in
crease in the pay of the company
trainmen and bus operators and the
employment of some TOO additional
men to handle the extra business.
The operators are paid on an hourly
basis, circumstance which is spur
ring the company to unusual efforts in
their attempt to increase operating
speeds. Although. the IS per cent
figure will not hold good in less con-
gested sections of the city, the COM
pany officials believe that the total
time lost by stops at traffic lights
accounts for very substantial portion
OF their total pay roll. If some means
of reducing this loss Of time can be
found, 1t will enable the company to
render its present service with a
smaller pay roll. This will not mean
reduction in the total number of
men employed, according to COM
pany officials, for it is believed future
increases in business would neccesitate
Evening star., 1936-05-28

Observers have found that in numer-
Gus cases the first bus in group will
be crowded to the doors, while the
second bus, bound for the same des-
dnation and only a few seconds
behind its predecessor, will be COM
paratively empty.
II these busses could maintain the
proper spacing, their passenger loads,
theoretically at least, would be even
ly distributed, resulting in greater
comfort to the passengers.
I'VE think the traffic lights, so far
as possible, should be adjusted to
the requirements of mass transporta-
ton vehicles" Bennett said.
Evening star., 1936-05-28

Any reduction in operating time
also would improve the service from
the viewpoint Of the riding public,
since fewer breaks in headway would
occur. If a bus misses light, it is
apt to be overtaken by one or more
additional busses before it Is able
to resume its trip.
This is factor in the punching" of
busses, since passengers seem dis
posed to get on the first bus that
comes along. regardless Of how
crowded the tardy vehicle may be.
