Five Cent Fare Plan for Boston Elevated Proposed
Senator J J Walsh bills a uniform five cent fare for all Boston Elevated lines with a proportional subsidy from served cities to cover operating deficits. He argues public ownership risks and questions the cost of eminent domain while noting a public control period would return property to owners. He forecasts rider increases and suggests savings through payroll cuts and prudent purchasing to keep the system solvent.
