Railroads Seek New Fare Rise Across Eastern Lines
Eastern railroads asked the Interstate Commerce Commission for a 12 42 per cent hike in basic passenger fares to 8 275 cents per mile for coaches and 4.5 cents per mile for sleeping and parlor cars. They cite a 1948 passenger deficit of 252 177 000, the largest on record, and warn wage-driven costs—including a forthcoming 40-hour week for non operating workers—will rise by 362 000 000 since July 1968. If approved, this would be the third postwar fare increase after 1942 and a 194? boost and a July commission grant of about 17 per cent.
