COST TO OPERATE A VENICLE PER MILE-Tncreaded.!

How much does it cost fo transport you a distance of one mile? Figures for the first 9 months this year show the average expense of operating a transit. vehicle is 41%¢ a mile. This cost was only 313¢ per mile for a ke period in 1945. ;

NUMBER OF VENICLES - Zwereaded !

The Company had 421 vehicles 0s of Jonvory 1, 1945. This number hed increased fo 516 by October Ist of this year, even though we were carrying fewer passengers. Reason: Abandonment of wartime staggered working hours and skip stops piv longer "trip-time™ caused by increased automobile traffic meant more vehicles were : needed during. the moming and evening rush hours. Since the wor the Company hos spent over $4,000,000 for new vehicles and other service improvements.

our business is in reality . . . your business.

® The cost of providing transit service, like almost everything else, has grows steadily higher since the war. At the same time, the number of transit riders has been declining. : All of which means that your transit Company must have increased fares to assure you of continued operation. Always uppermost has been the desire to give you ever better service through careful operation and intelligent planaing . , . for
