Butte Raises Fares as Pennies Pile Up for Street Car Service
Butte begins a fare increase from five to six cents on December 10 for street car service. The public service commission approved a fare rise for mail carriers, and the system encourages ticket use to reduce copper coin handling. The company faces losses from an epidemic reducing ridership, with a $500 daily shortfall and a $25,000 Clark bank loan already taken, likely needing more funds.
