Show STAGE LINE ASKS FOR FARE INCREASE! Claiming a 48 increase in I operating costs per mile, Bingham Bing-ham Stage Lines petitioned Utah state public service commission Wednesday for increases ranging rang-ing from 5c to 20c in roundtrip bus fares between Salt Lake City and Bingham and intermediate points. Way points include Murray, Mur-ray, Midvale and Copperton. It cost 17c a mile to operate the buses when roundtrip fares ranging from 60c to 15c were established, according to the petition pe-tition signed by Orson Lewis, president of the company. Now operating costs are about 25.2c per mile and the company is asking ask-ing to establish fares ranging from 75c to 20c for roundtrips. No immediate hearing has been set by the commission. |
