WHY PEOPLE TAKE LONGER TO
BOARD OR LEAVE CARS HERE
THAN IN OTHER CITIES
Delay Caused by the Old Style
Cars. Richmond to Have
Quicker Car Schedule.
With a view of giving faster travel on all the
lines here, officials of the Railway and Power
Company during the last week have been busy
timing passengers getting on and off cars. The
result of this investigation has been very interest
ing. One fact has been clearly shown that it
takes passengers longer on Broad street to get on
and off cars than it does passengers on Main
street. When asked as to the reason of this, the
only answer that could be found was that the
people were slower and more deliberate in Ixiarding
anti leaving cars on Broad street than on Main
street. Another fact that was clearly shown was
that it takes people in Richmond on an average
of 25 per cent more time to get. on and off the
cars than it dot's people in such cities as Cincinnati,
St. Louis, Chicago, Buffalo, Kansas City and other
cities of like and larger size. The great aim of
the Virginia Railway & Power Company is to
give ther patrons rapid transit, that is to get the
passengers to and from their homes and destina
tion with all possible speed consistent with safety.
In casting alxiut to find why the schedule in Rich
mond could not be maintained as fast as in other
cities, the time taking in getting on and off cars
showed the answer. The Pay-as-you-enter ears
have been found to reduce the time for passengers
entering and leaving cars very materially,and the
company firmly believes that, with the introduc
tion of Pay-as-you-entcr cars here, the time lost
in getting on and off will be very materially re
duced. The fact that in the new or standard
Pay-as-you-enter cars which are coming in vogue
in even- city in this country and Europe, there
are two entrances and two exits. A passenger
getting on is never delayed by the passenger
getting off. The Passenger leaving the car leaves
by one door, front or rear and the passenger
getting on gets on by entering the door at the rear
of the car. The time taken on Main street,
showed that it took nine persons nine seconds and
a half to get on or off a car and eighteen passengers
an average of twenty-three seconds to get on or
off. On Broad street it took nine passengers
eleven and four-fifths seconds to get on or off and
eighteen passengers twenty-eight seconds. The
Pay-as-you-enter cars will materially reduce this
time and get people to their homes and destina
tion quicker.

Mr. Pender was present when the j
board handed him the stand-pat ;
package, and he wn* iruhjeoted to ,
