Eugene Boswell president of the bus system in recapping 1960 Mr Boswell had some figures to show the importance of the system to the growing city of Ogden: In 1960 the Ogden Bus Lines carried 16 million passengers 579102 miles The company operates 21 buses over 31 route miles and the daily mileage is 1912 “Progress in providing bus transportation service in the Ogden area is no easy task” Mr Boswell said “Our pride in recent years has befen a holding action There has been no increase in fares an unusual record compared with other cities” However the company president pointed out that while the firm’s responsibility is to provide bus service riders can and will use at fares riders can and will pay and make a reasonable profit this presents problems “Since we have no way to do these things except through our revenue from bus riders we cannot promise vastly expanded servr ice continued low fares or fleets of new buses under the present circumstances” he said Mr Boswell said the Ogden Bus Lines has not participated in the booming business of northern Utah as have some other firms He said this is partly due to increased use of automobiles free downtown parking and the practice of people picking up persons waiting for a bus Mr Boswell said the company has improved working conditions torate its for employes but not as much e recreational facilities for desired as Hill
