BUSSES: The,following letter was received from the Northern Indiana Transit, Inc.; The Honorable Board of Public Works and Safety City of South Bend South Bend, Indiana Gentlemen: As you know, we unaugurated service on a trial basis into the Edison Park area on Monday, October 30, 1950. This has been in operation three months, and at the present time all we are carrying is nine children to school in the morning and from school in the afternoon. This means that our total revenue from the entire operation is only 90� at the 5� rate of fare for school children. Under our contract restrictions it is necessary that we pay the drivers involved a total of $9.36 per day. No adults of this -.area are availing themselves of this service. Under the foregoing conditions, we feel it to be rather out of order to operate at this cost to merely carry nine children to and from school in that type of vehicle. We, therefore, respectfully request permission of your honorable body to discontinue this operation at the close of school Friday, February 9, 1951, Your kind consideration of this request will be appreciated. Yours very truly, NORTHERN INDIANA TRANSIT, INC., By: E. G. Crandon Vice -President & Gentl Manager The Board granted the above request.
