To meet this demand under present day conditions requires the making of sacrifices and the curtailment of non-essential riding.

One of the reasons for doing these things is that because of the heavy riding resulting from restrictions placed upon the use of gasoline and rubber, all of the available coaches and buses that Delaware Coach Company owns are in regularly scheduled service during rush hours. It is impossible to obtain additional equipment at this time. Delaware Coach Company has received only about one-half of the vehicles that were ordered because of the restrictions that have been placed upon their construction by the War Production Board. Because of the war, Delaware Coach Company does not have the free hand in the making of changes and extensions to its service that it would have in normal times. The Office of Defense Transportation, which is a division of the War Production Board, has issued instructions with reference to the extension of service, one of which is the following: EXTENSION OF BUS SERVICE "Extensions of existing bus routes and inauguration of new routes should be made only to places of defense employment and military and naval establishments or to meet similar situations where failure to provide such additional service will have a definitely unfavorable effect on the war effort." The intent of this order is to restrict the use of gasoline and rubber and taken with the restriction upon the manufacture of buses and coaches is for the purpose of conserving critical materials that are necessary in the manufacture of war equipment.

Essential riding and the need for conserving essential materials come first. Where additional service may appear to be urgently needed, we are asking our riders to give consideration to the requirements of the war situation.
