Transit systems return

Buses back in service
By CAROL MEYER
Although he drives a 1963 school
bus, Roy Ellis started a bus system
conveying working people, not
school children.
Transit systems are not new to
Bryan-College Station. When
Bryan, 65 years ago, was the cultural
and entertainment center of the ter
ritory, the majority of customers
came from Texas A&M College. Col
lege Station was five miles south of
Bryan’s central square, with its 15
saloons and the opera house on the
upper floor of city hall.
In the wilderness separating the
two cities and only two lines of
transport: Houston, Texas & Cent
ral Railroad, and a bicycle road main
tained by the College Bicycle Club.
In 1910, construction of a public
transportation facility was approved.
An interurban rail system, consisting
of four gasoline-powered streetcars,
ran from downtown Bryan to the col
lege campus with stops at Allen
Academy and the Villa Maria Con
vent. The system went out of busi
ness in 1918 because of the common
use of automobiles.
In 1939, five buses operated in
Bryan. The number grew to 12 in the
next 10 years.
The growth rate of College Station
was approximately 50 per cent from
1960 to 1970, and at this time, uni
versity enrollment doubled.
From 1960 to 1970, the two small
cities of Bryan and College Station
merged into one metropolitan area
through strip development and the
growth.
A bus line was operated by Bur
ley, Erwin, and Smith between ’60
and ’70.
Aubrey Gentry operated the line
until it failed in 1968, the operation
of two buses cost more than revenue
could offset.
Roy Ellis of Bryan and Tom Bass
of Cameron have each received
franchises to start bus systems from
; he
ir.
:
the city councils of Bryan andQ
lege Station in March of this
Ellis began operation on Apiil|
driving one bus from 6:30a.m,
5:(X) p.m. with a 50 cent fare.
Tom Bass was unable to
reached.
"The system is just a tram:
tion service being offered to
cities,” Ellis said. “The only pul
transportation is a few taxicabs,
system is basically for domesl
workers going to and from wort'
North Bardell, College Stafe
city manager, said the onlys
tions on a bus system are to"
tain the vehicle in good shape
maintain liability insurance on
vehicle.”
Ronald Holder, associaterese:
engineer for Texas Transportat
Institute, is skeptical ofthemte,
of a privately owned bus system,
“If Ellis can pay his driversliljl
enough and charge sufficientmomj
he* may keep his costs down to
but I rather doubt it,” Holdersr

Vitamin C may he deterrenl

Vitamin C, long debated as a fac

Texas A&M surveys and compiles
recently published articles from
health journtds on a variety of topics.
Vitamin C, aside from its controv
ersial position in the common cold
debate, is now being researched for a
possible role in preventing or lessen
ing the severity of heart attacks and
certain kinds of cancers.
Two studies, one in England and
another in Czechoslovakia, suggest
Vitamin C plays a key role in reduc
ing cholesterol levels. However,
both reports described in Sciences
Magazine were somewhat inconsis

pointed out.
