Fringe Parkers Drop
As Charge Is Made
For Transit Service

Patronage Of the Districts
fringe parking lot dropped OF
by nearly 100 automobiles today
as Capital Transit Co. began
charging for the ride between
the free lot and downtown.
Only 181 cars pulled into the
parking lot at South Capitol
street and Firth Sterling road.
Yesterday, 286 vehicles parked
there. In the last two weeks the
number has been steady between
$50 and 800.
While no actual count of pas
sengers using the special express
bus service was made today, it
was estimated there were about
230.
Fares are the city-wide stand
ard: 20 cents cash, five tokens
for so cents, IS cents weekly
pass plus 10 cents per ride.
Milton Rodes, director of the
Motor Vehicle Parking Agency
which operates the lot, blamed
today's lower patronage mainly
on the rain. He said that some
customers may have taken a
long week end, partly because
of the two-day public school
holiday in Maryland.
Mr.. Rodes said the bus fare
charge-the service has been
free for the last experimental
months probably the least
important reason for the sparse
use of the lot today.
"All the adverse conditions
possible happened today" he
said. I'm really pleased that
under these circumstances we
had as many customers as we
did" He added he is sure the
trade will build up next week.
