Commuters Win First Round of Rate Contest
Albany May 27 The Up-State Public Service Commission heard the Chester County commuters complaint against a proposed New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad rate increase. The hearing focused on posting tariffs at stations and whether changes could take effect June 1. Commuters argued the Supreme Court decision applied to rate changes, not initial tariffs, and warned of a $20,000 monthly rise in transit costs. The commission took the matter under advisement. The railroad later asked to cancel tariff increases and keep current rates through July 1.
