"JITNEY" SYSTEMS j
PROVING POM
New Transportation Movement
Has Attained Wonderful Success
in Many Cities
The jitney bus business, which
made its successful start in Harris
burg yesterday with one Ford car, and
is expected to develop to large pro
portions when the Harrisburg Jitney
Transportation Company secures its
charter, is a movement that has
sprung into almost instant popularity
in all sections of the country.
The jitney has come so suddenly
that it is impossible to determine
whether or not It is the forerunner of
a permanent sorvice that will resist
all the opposition that is sure to come.
The authorities, both municipal and
State, are wresting with the problem
of proper regulation.
Among the advantages of the jitney
are the impossibility of the whole sys
tem being tied up through accident
to a central power plant; the freedom
from crowded conditions and strap
-1 hanging, and the accommodations of
entering and alighting at any point
along the street curb.
Started in West
The jitney bus idea originated in
the West, where it has reached great
proportions. In San Francisco, Los
Angeles. Seattle and Portland, Ore.,
more than 4,000 jitneys are operating
with daily receipts estimated at S2O
- which means a loss to the street
car companies of about $7,000,000 a
year. In some Western cities the
trolley companies have started to
light the "jits." but the busses have
come back with the threat "three
cents for children," and the electrics
have been silenced.
In Kansas City 1,700 jitneys are in
operation. In less than two weeks
after the first 5-cent bus appeared
there were more than 100 in business,
and the large number now are said to
be doing good business, every car usu
ally being filled, morning, afternoon
and night.
Grew Up Overnight
The jitney business in Houston,
Texas, grew up overnight and now in
cludes 250 cars. The first step toward
city regulation is now in progress and
the jitney men fear it will ruin their
business. At a recent meeting of the
bus drivers in that city an overage
net income of to $4 a day was re
ported.
In I>os Angeles, claimed to be the
city of the birth, it is not now
so profitable on account of the great
numbers who have taken up the busi
ness. The first Ford jitney was seen
last summer and now there are more
than 1.500 in use, making such com
petition that receipts have dwindled
so as almost to ruin the business. The
daily receipts average about $4.50,
and expenses $2 or $2.50 for an eight
hour day. According to I-os Angeles
street railway officials, trolley receipts
have decreased about $2,000 a day
since the advent of the jitney.
>lakc (itHMI Prollts
In Seattle, Wash.. 600 jitneys are
operating at an average daily profit
of $2.33. The first bus made its ap
pearance two and a half months ago,
and it is estimated that at the end of
a year the traction company's busi
ness will have been reduced SI,OOO
- After the first leap into instant
popularity, the excitement waned
somewhat, and the large number of
accidents due to inexperienced drivers
and abnormal congestion at crossings
further reduced their popularity, ex
cept on short hauls.
In Baltimore the jitney system was
recently introduced and is a success,
according to the promoters. The lines
carry passengers over a route two
and "a half miles for 5 cents.
In Philadelphia the jitney is favored
as offering a relief to the transit
problem. The first bus was started
several days ago and it is expected
that the number will rapidly increase.
Watts Tells Newport
Folk About Telephony
S. B. Watts, local manager of the
Bell Telephone company. of Penn
sylvania, delivered an illustrated lec
ture last evening before the Men's
Business Association of Newport, his
subject being "The Growth of a
Great Modern Utility."
Mr. Watts delivered a lecture sev
eral weeks ago on "The Telephone
Girl" before this same organization
and there were so well pleased that
they requested a return engagement.
Mr. Watts dealt principally with the
history of the telephone from the date
of invention down to the present time
w-tth its modern appliances which
makes possible a conversation from
ocean to ocean. Slides were shown of
the Harrisburg exchange, outside con
struction in the Harrisburg district
and various scenes in connection with
the installation of telephones and the
establishment of service. A brief his
tory was given of the men who have
been responsible in a great measure
for the rapid growth of this modern
utility, all of whom living to-day.
That which was especially interest
ing to the audience was to learn the
manner in which repairs are made to
lines on which trouble has occurred.
The use of motor trucks has greatly
facilitated these repairs which are
made promptly, regardless of weather
conditions and the distance trouble
may be from an exchange.
