THE STREET RAILWAY SYSTEM of METROPOLITAN BOSTON It seems hardly an exaggeration to say that not only is ' the whole civilized world at work on improved municipal transportation, but every considerable town in both hemispheres is acquiring experience of more or less general value in regard to it, while at the same time seeking to learn the results of experience elsewhere."1 This is more obviously true of material and scientific appliances, viz., cars, motors, conductors and track laying; but in its other and more abstruse aspects the problem is of the utmost hygenic and governmental importance. As a public agency, the electric street railway is now fast revolutionizing the methods of urban life, spreading it over a wider area and subjecting it to new influences; at the same time entailing, in such matters as paving, sewerage and police, vastly increased municipal expenditures. The benefits of the rapid extension of a street railway system are never doubted, for an enormous part of the population is enabled to make its home in the more healthy and pleasant suburbs. It is also established beyond question that these railways are "Natural Monopolies" so far as competition with other lines of traffic is concerned.2 It would be hoping for too much to expect natural monopolies so absolute not to make the most of their opportunities to secure profits far in excess of those secured in ordinary competitive business. The communities are to blame if they tacitly allow the enjoyment of monopoly profits by corporations which freely use the public streets. The people will ride and must ride, whether they like or dislike the corporation which provides the service. One might reasonably expect, therefore, when the relations between the people and these...

Book excerpt: A richly illustrated story of public transit in one of America’s most historic cities, from public ferry and horse-drawn carriage to the MBTA. A lively tour of public transportation in Boston over the years, Boston in Transit maps the complete history of the modes of transportation that have kept the city moving and expanding since its founding in 1630—from the simple ferry serving an English settlement to the expansive network of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, or MBTA. The story of public transit in Boston—once dubbed the Hub of the Universe—is a journey through the history of the American metropolis. With a remarkable collection of maps and architectural and engineering drawings at hand, Steven Beaucher launches his account from the landing where English colonists established that first ferry, carrying passengers between what is now Boston’s North End and Charlestown—and sparing them what had been a two-day walk around Boston Harbor. In the 1700s, horse-drawn coaches appeared on the scene, connecting Boston and Cambridge, with the bigger, better Omnibus soon to follow. From horse-drawn coaches, horse-drawn railways evolved, making way for the electric streetcar networks that allowed the city’s early suburbs to sprout—culminating in the multimodal, regional public transportation network in place in Boston today. With photographs, brochures, pamphlets, guidebooks, timetables, and tickets, Boston in Transit creates a complete picture of the everyday experience of public transportation through the centuries. At once a practical reference, local history, and travelogue, this book will be cherished by armchair tourists, day-trippers, and serious travelers alike.
