Rules for Car Riders

I have been for several years
a daily bus and trolley rider In
this city. I have heard many
complaints about the service,
some Of them perhaps justified,
but most Of them from peo-
pie who, If they would only en-
ploy a little courtesy and q rea-
sonable degree Of thoughtful
ness for the other fellow, could
themselves improve the service
to a large extent. To those peo-
pie, I would make the following
suggestions:
/. Have your fare ready when
you board the bus or trolley, and
move as far back as you can.
even II you have to push past
someone that won't move back.
2. Don't 60 to sleep or be-
come so engrossed in your read
ing that you 60 past your stop,
and then take up the time argu-
ing with the operator because
it happened.
8. Don't. distract the opera
tors attention or take UP his
time telling him what the COM
pany should do. He is only an
employe of the company, and is
not in a position to do anything
about the rules and regulations
under which he must work, or to
tell the company how to improve
service.
4. When the operator tells
you he can take no more pas
sengers, step off and don't hold
him UP arguing about it. Those
are his instructions, issued for
your safety, and he will be Pc
nalized if he is caught not fol-
lowing them.
5. See that you have the cor.
rect transfer, that it is properly
punched, and Of the correct date.
The operator to whom you give
the transfer is not responsible
for your having received an i'm
proper one, and he Is under
rigid instructions not to accept
it. DUTCH.
