Case I is referred to in the text, i t implies both Case . I-A
and Case I-B, and where Case II is referred to, it implies both Case II-A and Case II-B. Territory Served Tho Los Angeles Transit Lines serves an area roughly thirteen miles in diameter, centered around the downtown business district of Los Angeles. For faro collection purposos this is divided into an inner zone approximately nine miles in diameter, surroundod by a ring two miles in \<lidth which is
_ 2 _
separated into seven second zoncs.
Additional third zone areas arc served
as follows: Eagle Rock and Griffith Park districts in the North Beverly Hills district in the West Inglm.,rood and South Gate districts in tho South Further to the south two fourth-zone areas are designated as Hawthorno Zone 4 and Hollydale Zone 4.

Token use under present fares was
estimated to be 35% in each of the four zones.
The diminution or loss of
passengers due to increased fares was 'estimated to be 25% of the percentage incrbase in the fare involved.
The estimated 135,363,000 adult passengers

Token Ad,justment It is estimated that based upon tho present experience of appli颅 cant, three tokens out of 1,000 tokens sold or 0,356路 will never be redeemed. This amount will be considered as an added revenue and is estimated at $20,000 under present fares.
Other Revenue From such sources as rent, interest on franchise bonds. charter, advertising, and miscellaneous, there is an estimat~d rovenue of $187.000 under all cases. Revenue under Case II - Proposed Motor Coach Substitution (Application No. 35728)
UnderCas8s II-A and II-B ,proposed motor coach substitution, the estimated rovenue will be the same as in Cases I-A and I-B, respectively. Mileage The estimated mileage to be operated during the rate year is shOllTn
in Table 2.
This estimated mileage is based upon a study by
Mr. William F. Hibbard, Associate Transportation Engineer, of the Commission's staff and is shown as a separate exhibit in this matter.

Operating and Maintenance Expenses -- Case I . Estimates of operating and maintenance expenses are shown in Table 3.
General Unless otherwise stated in the following paragraphs, operating and maintenance expenses are based on experience, and conditions currently prevailing.
In estimating operating and maintenance expenses it is
estimated that 100 new 48-passenger diesel coaches will start operating .
'
.
.
at the beginning of the rate year, replacing older coaches now in operation.
These new coaches will slightly increase the fleet cost of
tires and substantially decrease the cost of Account No. 4140 - Maintenance Expense. Wages: All wages are included in the detailed estimates shown in Table 3 at the level prevailing immediately . prior to Wage Increase:
~
1, 1954.
The wage increase which becomes fully
effective on December 1, 1954 is
sh~m
separately
on Line 12, in Table 10, Results of Operation'. Fuel:
The cost of fuel is based upon the current level of costs including an ir.crease in the Sales Tax on diesel of 0.5%, effective July 1, 1954 for the City of Los Angeles.
Tires: The unit cost of tires is based on that ' prevailing under contract for ,. the period July 1 to Decernber-31, 1954.
The estimate of the cost of tires reflects the

estimated higher unit 路 tire cost per mile for the loa ne,., coaches which are to be put in operation at the beginning of the rate year. Power:
The cost of power reflects the increase recently . granted to Southern California Edison Company by this Commission.

The present premium rate charged, by Transit Casualty Company to applicant is 7% of passenger revenue. In this report, as in pre~ous reports, the estimate of the Commission's staff has been predicated on unit costs
related to the number of passengers carried and tho vehicle miles
operated. The estimate for Case I is shown in Table 5.
Operating Expenses - Case II Case II -
Operating expenses are shown in detail in Table 11
and are based on operations of Ca'sc I adjusted to reflect the estimated decrease in rail expenses due to the aband'Onroent of lItrEiet car operations as proposed in Application No. 35728, the increase in motor coach expenses re~uired
by the substitution of motor coach service for street car service,
and the increase in trolley coach expense due to the conversion of Line
No. 41 from motor coach operation to trolley coach operation, with a
corresponding decrease in motor coach expenses.

will remain at zero, as a sufficient accumulation of funds is presently on hand.
It is estimated that 94% of applicants' total payroll will be

Rate Base and Depreciation Expense
In General:
In accnrdance wi th current Cornmi ssion practice of treating all property en a remaining life basis, the Commission Staff has made an analysis of Applicont1s property.
As
0.
rosult, as of January 1, 1954:
1. Motor coaches of the series 6200, 6300, 6600, 6700, 6800
and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of
12 years.
This is considered reasonable in view of the
attained age and the condition of the fleet.
2. The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct. 522) was adjusted to reflect a tote.l life of 50 years.
3. Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect age-life condition. Under both Cp."ses I and II, 100 nel" motor coaches have been included in the rate base as of November 1, 1954, tho beginning of the rate
ye~r.
Other Lpnd, (Acct • .503), and Rights of Way. (Acct. 502), hewe been adjusted to reflect estimated original cost. Under Ce.se I:
150 motor coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series (including current work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the 'inclusion of the
100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in Staff Witness Hibbard's Exhibit
\"!ith 10% f ~ r spares.
All property on "group plan" depreciation reflects the current
4% rate of accrual with nermal additions and retiroMents t.?ken into considera tion. The 40 P. C. C. cr.'.rs on "uni t plan" depreCiation wore extended, as of In.nuary 1, 1954, to a total life of 25 years.

Under Case II: As evidenced by correspondenco bet\oJ'een the Commission and Applicant and the request for changes in accounting practices, as outlined in a letter from the Applicant to the Commission under date of April 29,1954, it is assumed that applicant intends to completely convert to motor coach operation by the end of 1965.
The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all
property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2.tion 'ltlill be fully depreciated by that time.
This would include all
hitherto considered non-dopreciable; those
rel~ted
rel~ted ~o
items of property
the present proposed
conversion havo been charged to the "group plan" depreciation reserve as of November I, 1954; those remaining 2xe depreciated over

150 coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series have been included in order to satisfy oquipment requirements as outlined b;y Staff \'litness Hibbard's .:1 .
The work orders for rebuilding 83 of those coachos have
