CROWDED CARS

CO THI BDITOB, ' Sir,— l should like to take advantage of ,, your columns in order to call attention to tho very 'evident insufficient, car service, particularly between tho hours of 7.30 and 9 a.m., when so many passengers aro travelling to business. I specially t6le* to the Afo-stfeet and Brooklyn cars, being tho line in which I have occasion to travel, and which is, therefore, bpst known to me. Theso oars are_ invariably so overcrowded that one is unable even to stand in comfort, and I have on moro than one occasion been" almost thrown off the car, having such a small spaco on whioh to stand. I may say I nave, since travelling on this line between the abovo hiSurs, never been bo fortunate as to secure a seat, tho cars % being already more than filled by the time they reach the Aro'-street "car" .shod. I certainly think special oars should bo urn during hours at which excessive traffio ocours, and which must bo quite well known to those in charge. Aside from the inconvenience* to the travelling public, the conductor haß_ the greatest possible difficulty in securing the faros.— *l am, etc. M. W. MILNE. 22nd February, 1913. " ' '
