New Trolley Zone Rates in Providence Line Fares
The Special Commission for investigation of Rhode Island Company's suburban lines sets new fares on the Providence Riverside and Bristol line effective by April 1. Fares scale from 5c to 31c to various endpoints, with higher rates outside Providence. The commission rejects a flat six cent fare and suggests abolishing municipal franchise in favor of a State franchise tax to relieve the company and avoid receivership.
