ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

City Service.

Four routes, see map,—black dashes indicating routes. The different routes are distinguished by colored signs above the fronts of the cars, and by similar lights at night, viz:—

  • Chaudiere—Rockcliffe line; green square or green light.
  • Chaudiere—New Edinburgh line; green square with white cross, or green and white light.
  • Britannia—Sandy Hill line; maltese cross, or red and white light.
  • Bank Street—Sandy Hill line; red diamond or red light.
  • Union Depot—Elgin street line; white disc or white light.
  • Gladstone avenue line; green triangle with red disc, or green and red light.

Enter and leave at rear end of most closed cars, and leave at front end of "pay-as-you-enter" cars.

Cars stop on the far side of cross streets. Pedestrians must therefore remember to "Look out for the cars."

Transfers everywhere, at junction points. Clocks will be found in all cars. Night cars run from midnight, periodically, until 2 a.m.

Fare: Adults, 5c; children in arms, free. Tickets, 6 for 25c, 25 for $1.00. Limited tickets, good from 6 to 7.30 a.m. and 5 to 6.30 p.m., 8 for 25c. Sunday tickets, 7 for 25c. Night cars, cash fare, 10c, for adults and children.
