As a general proposition—in theory— the trolley line would have no chance of competing with the rail- road betwcen these two citles were it not for one important fact. This fact has to do with the Inconvience of getting to the main line rallroad station at Berlin from New Britain, from | Some passengers say it 1s more bothi- er to go through this inconvience than to go direct to Meriden via the longer trolley line or ¢he Connecti- cut company bus. Tt takes about an lour and a quarter to make the trip between the two cities via trolley and less than an hour by bus, com- pared with about halt an hour from Berlin to Merlden by raflroad. It s question which route carries the most passengers between the two cities but the trolley at least com- petes through its more frequent service, a We won't go any furthep with the exhibits. They could be carried north of Hartford and we belleve would tand to show that the trolley or for practical purposes, main active competitors of the rail- road. And we belleve this is true for comparatively short trips in other states. The bus development of the trol- re- ley lines must be considered when speaking of trolley lines. Whether the busses are operated by the Con- ncetieut company or by independent concerns, they have a tendency to compete with the rallroad between terminals, even though they touch different towns midway.
