Queues Are Replacing Scramble
For Seats on Capitals Buses

Civilization has dawned on the
Washington bus-riding public. The
push and shove era is nearly done.
Supporters of the democratic process
soon will outnumber the brute
strength contingent.
What is this gentling influence?
1t is the queue-up system. Rush
hour passengers in dozen of the
heavily used bus stops recently have
begun waiting in single line in
the order of their appearance. First
come, first served. They file into
the bus with order and dignity.
When the seats and standing room
are gone, the doors shut and the line
waits patiently for the next bus.
That is, it usually waits patiently.
When an occasional relic from the
pre-queue days starts pushing,
public opinion comes into play. The
bus starters call this the dirty look"
department. Rare is the passenger
who does not stink to the rear of
the line, murmuring that he only got
to town last week.
Old English Custom.
The oueue-up system has been in
effect in England for many years.
According to Capital Transit Co.
employees, it started here year ago
at Seventh and Constitution avenue
NV. Within the last three weeks
habitues of several more stops have
voluntarily adopted the system.
officials believe it soon will be uni
versal at all stops where there is
room to line up singly. At Thir-
teenth and Pennsylvania avenue
NV, for example, where several
bus routes start and the loading
platform is small, the queue system
is impractical.
r. A. Chew, traffic manager of
the w. NJ. g. A. Motor Lines, Inc,
in nearby Maryland, said the queue
up system was put into effect last
April at the Census Bureau IN Suit
land and at the company's bus stop
at Seventeenth street and Pennsyl-

results" He added that the plan
