only part of our plans to extend and speed long distance
service.
Many other improvements arc on the way. For it is our
purpose in our $400,000,000 five-year expansion program
to provide an ever-widening, ever-improving telephone

. .Within the past 18 months Pacific Greyhound
fares in Oregon have been reduced to a uniform one-and-a-half-cents'
per-milt... while the price of nearly everything else has gone UP.
How did Greyhound do it?
By increasing the frequency of service in Oregon!
It works this way: As Greyhound adds more service, more people
ride, 35 passengers can be carried for no more than it costs to carry 25.
It costs little more to operate a depot for 6 buses a day
than it does for 4...and so on. If more people ride, Greyhound’s
cost of operation per passenger goes down.
Pacific Greyhound then passes this saving on to the people
... in the form of the lowest fares in Oregon, and better, more
frequent service than ever!
