San Antonio Bus District Ordinance Regulates Street Cars Jitneys
City commissioners establish a business district for motor buses and prohibit new jitney licenses within it. They alter existing licenses so buses do not operate inside the district unless for Camp Wilson and post office routes, with provisions for surrender and corrected licenses. Violators face fines from 10 to 200 dollars per offense. The 1915 ordinance remains in force outside the district.
