Proposed Pacific Electric Fare Increases Hearings Set
The Pacific Electric company will present proposed fare hikes to the state railroad commission on June 20 at 10 am in the Union League building. Local fares rise from 5 to 6 cents across the system and Corona to Riverside jumps from 30 to 40 cents, with return tickets for Coronans at 65 cents. The Independent notes the raise and urges consideration of broader utility distress, citing Pittsburg’s street railway receivership as context for potential future failures.
