Jitneys Must Comply With New Ordinance
Only eight jitneys had applied for routes by Thursday noon as San Antone enforces a new jitney ordinance. Bond requirements of 35000 per person and 19000 per accident spark doubts among drivers and may trigger further court action. Mutual bonding plans face legal questions, while deadlines loom for license issuance and bond posting under penalties up to 100 dollars per offense.

Public Interest in Jitneys Crippling the Traction Co
A discussion outlines how jitneys are draining revenue from the Traction Company, reducing service by eight percent to cut losses. Last year the company barely covered operating costs and bond interest through borrowed funds for street improvements. The piece notes a monthly $18,000 income loss to jitneys, with little left for new improvements or interest, and compares corporate finance to a borrower unable to pay interest, hinting at upcoming debate on implications for the Traction Company.
