He said most of the routes would not change; that only about 5% of their revenue was taken in after 6:30 P.M., and he asked the Council to eliminate the routes that do not even pay the driver cost. MR. C. R. MALONE, Manager of the Austin Transit Corp., stated some of the routes do not provide a useful service as they are not being used. He reviewed the rate adjustments made since 1962 and asked the Council to look at something else as he did not think it was fair for the daytime riders to have to subsidize the nighttime riders. He said their union contract now would call for a 5½ day week instead of a 6 day week and they would need to employ 8 to 12 additional employees and if certain routes were eliminated they would still need to employ 5 more. He asked the Council to eliminate some of the schedules after 6:00 P.M. and he made the following recommendation of bus routes and times they would make their last trip: Main, N. Speedway Main, S. Holly East End Oil Mill 11:00 p.m. 8:30 p.m. (combination with Main at 9:00 p.m.) 11:35 р.м. 8:05 p.m. (combine with Main, Sat 8:35 p.m.) 10:30 p.m. 11:30 p.m. (combine with East End on this trip) Rosedale 6:40 p.m. St. Edwards 6:10 p.m. Manor Road 6:15 p.m. So.
