Summary: | With the installation by the Pacific Electric Railway
of a bus system in Pasadena to supplant most of its trolley
lines, the problem of the comparison of the costs of the two
systems naturally presented itself. The study here undertaken
was originally started as just a comparison of the motor
bus and Birney Safety Car, but as the work progressed it seemed
advisable to include the trolley bus as well - a method of
transportation that is comparatively new as far as development
is concerned, but which seems to be finding increasing favor
in the East.
