ONE-MAN MOTOR BUSSES ARE ALSO CONDEMNED James Spear Claims They’re More Dangerous THan One-Man - Trolleys. To the Bditor of The Stai In connection with the present agi tation against the use of the go-called “one-man cars,” I would like to in- quire why it is that one-man motor busses do not come in for the same condemnation. All the objections which I have seen raised to the cars ‘| would seem to me to apply with equal force to the busses, with the added objection that the busses are liable to catch fire from gas engine back- fire, otc., in which event the fire would be adjacent to passenger exit, and the bus operator has an added duty or responsibility in guiding his vehicle, whereas the street car runs on fixed rails. As to the specific objection that in case of accident and in the ensuing excitement passengers might not think to utilize the emergency release for the rear door, this applies alsg to the bu: with the added objection that the rear seat (usually occupied by a passenger) must be moved, and there are no rear steps. As a matter of fact, I fail to ap- preciate the so-called danger bf one- man street cars. The control of the | street car needs no attention from the mhotorman while the car is standing still, which is the only period during which passengers are entering or leaving. Conversely, the passenge: require no attention while the car is moving; the motorman having only to regard the stop signal, which he must likewise do on the two-man cars. I do not recall having seen reports of ‘any more accidents in the use of one-man cars the two, and understand that in some other cities one-man cars are in regular use and :hlns good satisfaction during slack ours. In any event, it seems to me that in aill consistency, if the one-man street car is to be condemned, the one- man bus should be included, and per- sonally I would prefer a_ one-man street car to the use of the bus, espe- cially since seeing one of them over- turned as the result of a collision.
