The Continuous Transit Securities Company, of New York city, was been incorporated in 1903, with a capital of $500,000, in New York, to equip street railroads with continuus moving platforms on railroads. The city of New York requested that the Continuous Transit Securities Company submit a proposal to the Public Service Commission for the privilege to build a subway under Broadway from Fourteenth to Forty-second streets and to equip it with a continuous train or moving platform railway. The moving platform would require a right of way of only 35 feet, although its capacity would be twice as large as a four-track subway. The proposed platform would afford a seating capacity exceeding 47,000 passengers an hour in each direction. This is three times the seating capacity of a train system operating five-car local trains upon one-minute headway, and practically sixi times the seating capacity of a system of surface cars operating upon 150-foot headway.
