Valley Residents Revolt Against Interurban Fares
Early morning reports describe Duwamish valley residents embracing a new bus line in competition with the Interurban. Eight riders switched to the bus, crowding the new service, while many others object to higher Interurban rates and support a municipal car extension. Local leaders advocate the Fourth Avenue route and a local improvement district to turn the road over to the city. The movement draws support from both men and women in campaigns to win affordable transit.
