“RIDE UP! BROADWAY!”
'Tis the last 'bus in Broadway,Left waiting alone,
All its reckless companions
Have raced by and gone!
I'll not leave thee—thou lone one!
My walk to condemn,
Since the Empire Line's racing,
Go! race thou with them!
About twenty years ago, there was only one line of Stages running to and from the lower part of the city, to the suburbs on this island. Now numerous Lines of Stages, called Omnibuses, are constantly running through the great thoroughfares. The number of Omnibuses, at present, is 248, of which 134 run in Broadway. They have seats for from ten to twenty persons each; and their average receipts, for passengers, at six pence each, are from 8 to $10 per day.
