That was the total number we were working with in 1975. I remember that if
all AM-Peak Hour runs were filled on any weekday, PATransit would have had to
have used the workcars to carry passengers. There were always one or two
42/38 'trippers' which never were filled do to lack of equipment. This was
really never noticed by the riders inasmuch as the public timetable always
stated "frequent service until..." for the AM peak rather than having each
trip listed on the schedule.
