 "In supplying the service applied for the applicant proposes to oper- ate one trip in the morning from Waterbury to Woodbury and one trip in the afternoon in the reverse direction for five days a week. A station wagon, which would be oper- ated by an employe of the applicant and garaged in Waterbury, would be used in performing the service. Employes would be picked up at a central point in the City of Water bury.
 Pending a hearing on and dis position of this application, the Commission, by letter dated October 1, 1945, granted the applicant au- thority to operate the servcie, and in said letter prescribed Q minimum rate of $3.33 per person per five-day week. This rate of fare was based on the rate of fare of four tokens one way charged by the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company. At the hearing on the application the representative of the applicant oh- iected to the rate of fare prescribed by the Commission in its letter of October II, lo46, stating that said fare was considerably in excess of what employees of the Company re- siding in Waterbury are willing to pay for transportation to its plant and that the Company would have difficulty in obtaining employees to make the trip from Waterbury and pay this rate of fare. He stated that the application was filed simply as 6 convenient means of getting em- ployes back and forth to work and that his company did not desire to make any profit on the operation but desired only to cover the extra cost of operating the station wagon.
 "The representative of the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting Com pany opposed the granting of the application on the ground that the applicant might in the future desire to expand the service applied for and that in such event 1t would be in competition with the service rem dered by his Company between Wa terbury and Woodhury. The service applied for under the instant ap- plication, however, is limited to the use of a station wagon and to em- ployes of the applicant who will be picked up and discharged only at a central point in Waterbury and the plant of the Company in Woodbury
 Present Service Inadequate
 "In view of that limitation and the fact that the service of the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting Com pany between these points does not adequately and conveniently serve these employees, the Commission be- lieves that the application should be, and it hereby is, granted.
 Subsequently to the hearing the applicant filed with the Commis. sion e proposed rate of fare of ei.7d per person per five-day week. It ap- bearing that the service herein au' thorIzed is not competitive with ths existing, service of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company be. tween Waterbury and the plant ol the applicant in Woodbury. and fol the reasons set forth above respect. ing e rate Of fare for the proposed service, the Commission approves the minimum rate of fare Of el.Ts per person per flye-day week alet by the applicant.
