Many Bus Fares Needed to Pay Federal Taxes
Fifty million ten cent passengers must be carried by the motor bus companies of the country each year just to pay federal taxes. The keeping of obligatory tax receipts is responsible for the higher cost of tires and parts. Bus owners are paying about a dozen kinds of taxes, federal, state and local. The efficiency and economy of the motor bus have been recognized by the United States army. It has been found cheaper to transport soldiers by motor bus when the time element will permit. Reports show that there was a large saving when troops were transported in busses last summer from Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, to Camp Ferry, Ohio. It has also been found that less than 10 per cent of the loss of passengers by railway lines was caused by motor busses. Most of this loss occurred before motor busses came into general use and was due to private automobiles. The motor bus, it is asserted, has been accepted with less urging and exploitation than any other service ever offered the public. The desire to ride on rubber and the safety, comfort and convenience provided by the bus are given as the cause.
