Tomorrow; Transfer
Points Are Listed

Reduced fares between Washing
ton and Government institutions
across the Potomac in Virginia will
go into effect on Sunday, and the
lines involved will begin the sale of
tickets at the reduced rates at II
am. tomorrow.
This fare reduction thus finally
will carry out the order of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission first
made in January, 1914, and upheld
by the Supreme Court last May %.
The new fares will mean a saving
from penny and a fraction up to
cents for regular travellers between
Washington residential areas and
Virginia destinations.
They apply between all points in
the District and the Pentagon, the
Arlington Navy Annex Building, the
Army Air Forces Annex at Gravelly
Point, the Washington National Air.
port and intermediate points.
Interline Tickets.
Interline tickets will be sold for
joint rides on the Capital Transit
Co. of the District and the following
three Virginia lines: Alexandria,
Bancroft & Washington Transporta-
ton Co., the Arlington & Fairfax
Motor Transportation Co. and the
Washington, Virginia & Maryland
Coach Co. (Arnold lines.
These interline tickets viii be sold
in books of tickets good for IL one
way rides and will cost $1.60. OFF,
Gals stressed that the interline tick
cts are good only for the combina-
ton lines named in the books. They
are not interchangeable on the Vir-
GINA lines.
The Virginia companies also will
sell three tickets for Is cents to
the Virginia destinations. If the
Washington resident uses Capital
Transit facilities for trips other
than between his home and work,
he likely will find it cheaper to get
a SIPS weekly pass on Capital Tran
sit and the three tickets for a quar-
ter on the Virginia lines, rather
than buy the books of tickets for
s160.
Some May Pay More.
1t also is conceivable the new fare
structure will mean more travel
costs to a few persons. Those who
live within walking distance of the
Capital Transit lines to the Penta-
gon. instead OF paying cents per
trip as now, will pay the regular
Capital Transit Washington rates in
the future: Either 10 cents cash.
