The Milwaukee Magazine, March 1929: The Beloit (Wis.) Daily Independent of January 10, has this to say anent the winter situation: "When a bad spell of slippery weather hit this section yesterday the bus lines stopped running. Passengers were forced to use the interurban or the steam cars. A bus starting out for Janesville yesterday got as far as Yost Park, north of the city, when they transferred to a Beloit-bound bus and quit service for the day. Patrons were forced to consult neglected time tables of interurban and steam road lines for transportation service for freight-carrying purposes, absorbing a certain amount of business which went formerly to the railroads. When bad weather ties up the trucks the shippers fall back on the railroads and demand prompt service. "It is evident already that one established means of transportation cannot be dropped for a newer method without losing some of the benefits of the older service." (Turn to page 15)
