PUG 10 Review RULING
On Southeast Buses

The Capital Transit Co. today
asked the Public Utilities Commis-
sion to reconsider its ruling Of
May 4 that would make a series of
important changes in bus rout-
ings in the Southeast area begin
ming July 8.
The reconsideration was sought
on charges ordered by the PUG on
the CO, WA and Wa bus lines,
all now operating in those parts Of
Southeast Washington across the
Anacostia River.
CO now operates between Bar
ney Circle and Thirty sixth and
Bangor streets Sc. Capital
Transit had proposed elimination
of this line and extension of the
WA line to Thirty sixth and Ban
gor streets Sc. After the Hillcrest
Citizens Association contended
this would require q transfer for
area residents going downtown the
PUG ruled that the transit COM
pany continue CO and extend it
eastward from Thirty-sixth and
Bangor streets Sc. to Alabama
and Pennsylvania avenues Sc.
Original Plan Pushed.
In its reconsideration petition,
Capital Transit asks the PUG to
grant the company's original pro-
posal.
WA now operates from Boiling
Field to the terminus at Trenton
Terrace and Eleventh place. Sc.
Catital Transit had proposed .ex-
tension Of Wa east of Boiling
Field to Thirty sixth and Bangor
streets Sc. The Public Utilities
Commission ruled that Wa be
extended east all the way to
Alabama and Pennsylvania ave-
nues Sc. s. .Fa,s
wa now operates between
Shipley terrace and the terminus
at Twenty fifth street and Good
Hope road Sc. Capital Transit
proposed extension of wa all the
way to Barney Circle and the PUG
authorized the move.
The company petition today OBJ
jected to route duplication of W.
and CO between Good Hope road
and Naylor road and Barney
Circle and from Naylor road to
the intersection Of Pennsylvania
and Alabama avenues Sc.
"Unwise Duplication"
THE provision of duplicate
SERVICE" the petition said, along
portions of the crosstown route
seems obviously an unwise dupli-
cation and one which will hinder
and make more difficult the extern
sion of radial routes into areas
farther out"
"If the commission is to re-
quire us to maintain the present
routing of CO, and even extend
1t into territory not presently
served, it will add substantial cost
to furnishing the service, in this
area and, we believe. without ade-
quate benefits to patrons for re-
turn to the company"
The PUG Is not required to hold
a public hearing If 1t decides not
to reconsider It's May 4 ruling.
