[PRCo] PRCo -- 1958__Annual__Report

[Jim Holland]

Speaking of income per transit mode, here is some info
	which has been posted here before.

TrolleyCars in 1958 represented 72.6% of revenue equipment
	and brought in 82% of all revenue.     But compare
	that to the mileage covered as well.

Good Morning!

	Matt Barry or Bob Schmidt may have sent this before:

	Looking at the statistics a little closer for::


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*- 1958 -*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+-Total Fleet = 837 Revenue Vehicles
	TrolleyCars = 608 = 72.6%
		Buses = 229 = 27.4%

TrolleyCars are 100% PCC!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+-Route Miles
1.)--(Miles of 1st Main Track = 215.05;
	Buses = 323.11 Route Miles;
		TOTAL = 538.16 Miles)
Then::
	TrolleyCars = 40%
		Buses = 60%

2.)--(Miles of Single Track = 398.97;
	Buses = 323.11 Route Miles;
		TOTAL = 722.08 Miles)
Then::
	TrolleyCars = 55.3%
		Buses = 44.7%

#1  *might*  be best comparison as  *Route__Miles*
	are generally measured One_Way, Not
	Round_Trip.    Single_Track would seem to
	Measure Round_Trip mileage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+-Total Revenue Generated  AND  Total Passengers Carried
	TrolleyCars = 81.9%
		Buses = 18.1%

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+-Revenue Per  *Vehicle*
	TrolleyCar = $114,087.86
		Buses = $66,990.25

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+-Passenger Vehicle Miles
	TrolleyCar = 72.3%
		Buses = 27.7%

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+-Passengers per  *Vehicle*
	TrolleyCar = 142,565.48
		Buses = 83,492.97
