Freeze on Joint Fare.
May Be Appealed
By Capital Transit

Capital Transit Co. officials today
are debating whether to appeal a
ruling of the Interstate Commerce
Commission yesterday that denied
request Of the Capital Transit and
two Virginia bus companies to
cancel joint ticket arrangement.
Under the arrangement ordered
continued by the ICC, the fare to
the Pentagon. the Navy Annex in
Arlington, the Army Air Forces at
Gravelly Point and the National
Airport, where both District and
Virginia bus facilir les are used, is
1888 cents-12 tickets for $1.60. If
the joint ticket plan were Cancelled
the same trip would cost 1888 cents.
The Alexandria, Bancroft &
Washington Transit Co. and the
Washington, Virginia g. Maryland
Coach Co. joined Capital Transit in
asking an end to the joint ticket ar
|rangement.
Losses Are Claimed.
All said they were losing money
on the special rates. F. G.. Await,
Capital Transit attorney, said the
District firm got only 583 cents per
passenger under the arrangement.
He pointed out that passengers
travelling between points in the Dis
trict must pay 10 cents trip after
today.
Rate Of the combination fare orig
inally was set to conform with an
ICC ruling that the companies
could not charge more than 1888
cents trip, Mr.. Ewalt said. When
Capital Transit ended its service to
the Pentagon it filed notice Of a
desire to end the joint ticket ar
|rangement. Yesterdays ruling was
the result of commission notice to
the companies to show cause why
the present arrangement should not
be continued.
Ruling Held Important.
Mr.. Ewalt said the ruling can be
appealed to a court of three Federal
judges, one from the Circuit Court
of Appeals and the other two from
the United States District Courts,
He said the ruling was of wide
Importance because the ICC had
found 1t had jurisdiction over the
Capital Transit rates although the
company sent no buses into Vir-
ginia. The company had contended
the 1CC lacked Jurisdiction over the
company's fares in the present case
because no company buses are op-
Grating in Virginia. The ICC. how
ever, ruled:
The discontinuance by Capital
Transit Co. of its Virginia routes
did not change from interstate to
intrastate the service it renders in
transporting passengers between
points in the District of Columbia
and the Virginia installations over
its portion of the through routes" !"

of this.
