nance Efficiency means more today than ever before. Many of our expert workers have been called into the armed services. New buses have not been available and existing equipment has had to be maintained in service without the usual time out for overhauling. Most new parts have not been available either, and our employees have called upon all of their ingenuity to fashion badly needed items from existing materials. In spite of these handicaps, our maintenance crews have done such an outstanding job that local transit has been able to get vast numbers of war workers to and from their jobs regularly.
