This bus Company was founded in the late 1920s but it was short lived. It was a luxurious kind of service but couldn'tcompete with other lines because it is charged ten cents, as opposed to five cents behind the other. The reason for this curious
Half the rate the implication was that as an incentive in his waning years, he gave the sign half fare for each Two ten Cent prices
collected. In other words, if the passenger asked for a Fare, he will give the conductor twenty cents, and return
Half the fare. Two of these markers then paid for the future so ride.
