Chungking Has Only
33 Buses To Handle
Million Popnlalioi
Chungking (U.PJ Anyone who
ever has ridden in a Chungking
bus would not find the New
York subways too crowded even
in rush hours.
Chungking has only 33 busses
for a population of almost a mil
lion persons and since the city
is big geographically as well as
in population, the transport
problem is a serious one. It is
not unusual for a businessman
to walk several miles to keep an
appointment because it's often a
matter of walk or not get there.
The theoretical capacity of the
busses with the aisles crowded
with standing passengers is 48.
But usually there are at least 55
persons in a bus and frequently
more. By American standards
they are small busses. .
Policemen are stationed at
each bus stop to keep the wait
ing crowds in order and to keep
them from bursting the busses
at the seams when they rush to
get in. There are two conductors
in each bus, for one could not
possibly make his way through
the packed aisle to collect the
fares.
Some of the buses are very
old ones of German make and
others are built on Ford truck
bodies of more recent vintage.
Some burn alcohol and some an
ersatz gasoline, as there is no
real gasoline in Chungking.
Breakdowns are tragic, for spar?
parts have to be brought In by
plane from India and plane pri
crities, in view of military needs,
are hard to obtain.
There are two main bus lines,
each about six miles long. The
fare is 15 dollars in Chinese cur
rency on the express busses and
88 dollars on the locals. Even
the locals do not make many
stops so bus trips are fast even
if uncomfortable.

SKILLED "GROUND CREWS" HELP MAKE
GREAT NORTHERN SERVICE DEPENDABLE
Railways always have had "ground crews," thousands of
men (and women, these days) who perform the vitally essential
tasks which keep trains rolling.
Movement of the Great Northern's Empire Builder re
quires co-ordinated action by yardmen, car inspectors and
service men, engine handlers, train dispatchers, water and fuel
servicers, clerks, telegraphers, telephone operators and signal
men a mighty important "ground crew."
Although not actually involved in train operation, there
also are the maintenance-of-way crews who keep in shape Great
Northern's tracks, signal systems and bridges.
And, we're not forgetting the shopmen, who also are work
ing around the clock repairing and rebuilding locomotives, cars,
and other equipment.
Skilled "ground crews" are among the many things
which make Great Northern great and a dependable
transportation system. .
