This applies particularly to the lines in the Bronx, and if, as alleged, their present capacity is in some cases insufficient, there is no apparent reason why it should be so. The remedy lies wholly within the power of the railroad companies, and involves no engineering or other technical questions. A more or less well-defined line of demarcation separates the suburban from the urban conditions of operation. The former conditions usually permit of fewer stops, higher speeds and larger cars. The...y involve some addi- tional provisions for the comfort of passengers which will be referred to in the chapter on "Sanitation." STANDING PASSENGERS IN CARS. IT has been urged that the practice of allowing passengers to stand in the cars, particularly the open cars, should be pro- hibited, and that no car should be allowed to take on more pas- sengers than can be seated. It was stated in our preliminary report that "While your Committee recognizes that the standing of passengers between the seats of open cars not only occasions great discomfort, but leads to grave injury to health and morals, we are of the opinion that the practice can only be stopped by prohibitory laws rigidly enforced, and we believe that the enforce- ment of such laws would be very difficult until such time as the transportation facilities of the city are greatly increased." We see no reason to change this opinion.
