Elevated Lines Fares Cut Proposal Before PSC
Bryan and Hedley of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company urged the Public Service Commission to allow a radical reduction of service on the elevated and subway lines due to a drop in ridership blamed on business depression and city outflow. They cited a 14 percent rise in car mileage vs a 5 percent travel gain in early 7976 and warned that denial would force the company into financial trouble. The matter was sent to commissioners Maltbie and Pustis for inspection to determine if service levels are excessive for the season.
