Kenosha Faces Fare Cuts If Bus Firm Fails Equipment Purchase
The Wisconsin Public Service Commission warned Kenosha Motor Coach that fares may drop instead of rise unless the company funds new diesel buses from current earnings. The PSC denied the 1948 fare hike, noting 15 new buses would yield only about 35 percent return on adjusted valuation, while current profits would cover depreciation and equipment needs. Local officials and groups opposed the increase, while the carrier cited mounting costs and aging fleet to justify the plan.
