By the end of August, come 25 Indionopolis Railways’ To give you greater safety, Indianapolis Railways also is installing safety push doors in its vehicles Here's how they work: When you start to alight, simply ‘push either panel of the center exit door when the light above the door comes on. Then step off the vehicle to the curb. The doors close slowly, automatically. They can be opened only when the vehicle is at a full stop—and while they are

open, the vehicle cannot start.

vehicles will be wearing a new fall coat of Du Pont's metolli-chrome green and cream The new color design

will be pleasing to the eye ond the metallic content of the paint will give the vehicles a finish of longer life and lasting beauty. It will make maintenance and cleaning easier, too.

YHEV'E AIWAYS RE TOGETHER tha "naw look” in color and the new center push doors. Several trackless trolleys will appear first, later on this month. Then, eventually, all transit. vehicles will be repainted green and cream and equipped with safety push doors as they come to the shops for maintenance. The 62 new G.M.C. buses ond 25 MarmonHerrington trackless coaches on order olsp will be green with push doors.

Remember: AN green vehicles will have the safety push door!
