New Haven Suburban Five-Cent Fare Extended Two Months
The Consolidated branch between Bristol and Providence will keep the five cent zone fare for two more months with a potential seven cent option after. Railroad officials, led by counsel Eugene J. McElroy, said a two month extension may precede a further six month trial at seven cents if needed. Bristol County Transportation Committee chair Lester S. Walling and members urged maintaining riders and traffic while balancing revenue. Additional trains go into effect April 29 amid discussions with committee and railroad representatives on future fare policy.
