Letter on wholesale versus retail transit pricing in Elyria
Geo H Ely argues for wholesale service pricing for Elyria citizens to Louis S du Pont of Lorain Ohio. He compares local fare structures from New York Philadelphia and Cleveland and suggests a five to six cent equivalent fare for a 6.5 mile trip, urging fair, long term transport terms and noting public opinion favors better service at a fair price. He likens the situation to early telephone competition and urges a non-discriminatory pricing model for daily transport of 400 men.
