Southland Buses Seek Fare Boost

Southland Bus Lines Inc has applied to the State Public Utilities Commission for authority to raise minimum fares from 40 to 15 cents and adjust for longer rides. The service runs between Del Mar Beach and Knott’s Berry Farm Disneyland and other Orange County points. The filing notes the fare increases align with a 10 percent federal tax on charges over 25 cents and include a $5 per school year per family charge, elimination of round trip tickets in favor of 10 ride books, and retention of round trip tickets for Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm. William Du Tourne, president, cites 1956 revenue of 34,668.95 and projects a 1957 net profit of 2,500.
