Street Car Overcrowding Spurs Seven Minute Rush Schedule
Alderman Lipscomb and the public utilities committee back an ordinance from Alderman Uhr to have the San Antonio Traction Co run cars on a seven minute schedule during morning and evening rush hours. The plan aims to ease overcrowding by routing extra cars on all lines to halfway points, letting suburban passengers board while city cars run direct. Traction officials say doubling lines is not feasible, making operational changes imperative amid widespread complaints of severe overcrowding.
