\nTT is a pleasure and privilege to appear before thisI Board in answer to their courteous invitationextended by resolution.  \nI am here,frst,in behalf of the more than 1,035,-000,000 passengers carried on the surface street carlines of Greater New York during the fiscal year1925;second,as a representative of the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation whose surface streetrailway lines carried in excess of 247,000,000 of such  \n1,035,000,000 passengers,as well as approximately600,000,000 additional passengers upon its rapidtransit lines last year.  \n# Public and Transit Companies'InterestsCommon\n\nThe thoughtless may think I am somewhat for-ward as to my appearance here in behalf of the car-rider.  \nThe real trouble in the solution of the transporta-tion problems of Greater New York has been thefailure of the Public and the Transportation Com-panies to realize that their interests and problems arecommon.  \nCurtailment of the economic and efficient func-tioning of transportation facilities of the City by un-economic restrictions,or unsound policies,is alikedestructive to the interests of the Public,the City andthe Companies—with the Public being the greaterloser.  \nTherefore,the Public and the Companies'interestsare and must be one and the same and an injury toeither is an injury to the other—but certainly theCompanies can never prosper except through the  \nrendering of service to and with the cooperation ofthe Public.  \nThe stated purpose of this hearing is in referenceto the possible elimination of service of existingstreet railways,also elevated railways,in the publicinterest to relieve congestion and,also,presumablywith a view of improving transportation facilities.  \n## Traffic Congestion Factors\n\nThe seriousness of the traffic congestion problemis apparent,but its solution can only come by arecognition of pertinent facts and the applying ofcorrect principles based upon practical and eco-nomic facts.  \nFor the fiscal year 1925 the rapid transit(sub-way and elevated)and surface street car lines ofall companies in Greater New York carried morethan 2,716,000,000 passengers;about 1,681,000,000in subway and elevated cars and over 1,035,000,000in the street cars.  \nFor the fiscal year 1915 over 1,748,000,000 werecarried by rapid transit and surface lines;830,000,-000 in subway and elevated cars,and 918,000,000in the street cars.  \nThus the total rapid transit(subway and ele-vated)and surface lines passengers
