The argument continues that the laboring man profits most from the street railway system today, earning high wages and enjoying a cheap ride, a point held as evident by ongoing transfers and studies.
State Parts With No Powers In Thirty Year Rail Charge Debate

Prospect of Lower Fares and Power Costs for Street Railways
The analysis argues that even substantial drops in motive power cost would barely affect fares. Using West End’s 5 cent fare and 1910 figures, power costs are a small share of expenses. A fare cut would come from wages or service quality, or require distance-based pricing, which is deemed unpopular, or poorer equipment.
