Jitneys in Fort Wayne Seen Likely Temporary
A pamphlet from Fidelity Trust of Baltimore notes about twenty jitney buses operating in Fort Wayne since March 10. Trolley earnings remain largely unaffected, city regulators have not acted, and jitneys are viewed as a short term summer service rather than a lasting transportation feature. Ohio Electric plans two Niagara Falls excursions this summer, July 21 and August 11, routing to Toledo by trolley and on to Niagara Falls by water.
