Statewide trolley fare cut deemed unwarranted by commission
The Public Utilities Commission found no sufficient condition to justify a state wide fare reduction for the Connecticut Company. Data show jitney competition reduced revenues in Bridgeport and Norwalk, with the commission noting the company faced deficits and that current fare structures yield insufficient returns on invested value. Tests of flat 10 cent fares with no transfer varied in impact, and weather and economy hindered revenue recovery, delaying potential changes to Bridgeport and Norwalk rates.
