District Railway Commission Hears Anacostia Line Complaints
The District electric railway commission reported congestion on the Anacostia line of the Washington Railway and Electric Company and faulted the schedule adherence. Hearing attendees debated racial seating and car crowding while the commission said it lacks jurisdiction over segregated seating. The panel noted sufficient cars in use but said crowding stems from not meeting prescribed schedules. A new pay-within car on the Fourteenth Street line was introduced as an experiment to improve flow and accessibility.
