A monthly record is kept by the Pittsburgh Railways Com-pany of the total number of passengers reported on each routeand the number of revenue car miles operated over each routefor the corresponding period. The above diagram is a sample graphical record of this infor-matien to which has been added a curve showing the passengersper car mile for each month. By means of similar logs the totalpassenger traffic on each route may be compared month by monthand year by year and a study may be made of the relative servicefrom time to time, each route having its own standard. This ratio of total passengers per revenue car mile is the bestmeasure of relative service, as it takes into account the effect oftransfer loads, and hence records maximum crowding.
