passengers. There are large signs in the
vehicles. Line supervisors at crowded load
ing points board buses and ask riders to
move back. The subject is thrashed out at
refresher courses for drivers. Despite all
this, the back often stays empty while the
front is packed solidly."
At the American Transit Association,
trade organization of public and privately
owned transit systems, an official said the
situation is the same in Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Minneapolis and "any city which has
surface lines"
Some companies have tried stationing
men at busy spots to collect fares and per-
init passengers to board by rear doors.
Others have tried newspaper advertise
ments. Still others have invoked love Of
country in huge signs: Its patriotic to
move to the rear"
But so far, there's no permanent cure.
:. Mew DO Drivers React?
Explosively. A New York bus jockey
calls it the drivers biggest headache, worse
than large bills, garrulous passengers and
