In a long hearing on transit rights in Bridgeport, Percy Litchfield urged keeping both trolleys and jitneys with modernization. Attorneys attacked his stance on Norwalk Bridgeport routing, while Connecticut Company officials cited higher ridership and slower bus growth as jitney competition trims service and costs.
