The Modern Transit Society web site has moved. To obtain this page in the latest version, change "trainweb.org/mts" to "moderntransit.org" in the URL (web address). Below is an archived version (September 2005).

Page from the Key System Annual Report of 1946.

Figures show that streetcar and electric trains were profitable, while buses lost money. Overall, there was a profit even after paying a huge tax (equivalent to over $6 million in today's money, annually). The penciled calculations are the author's (who now wishes he made a photocopy of the entire page).

Hint: use the horizontal scroll bars to see all the figures if not displayed.
