Butte Slashes Streetcar Fares and Adopts Ticket System
Butte begins streetcar readjustment on December 10 with fare rise from five to six cents and a shift to ticketing. Public service commission also raises mail carrier and child fares, though not sought by the company. Cash fares remain possible but pennies will be used if needed. Tickets save time and reduce copper in circulation. The wage hike for the road’s workers increases losses beyond $500 daily, totaling over $380,000 for two months, with a $25,000 Clark bank loan and another likely needed soon.
