Does anyone know what a Jitney was? I've noticed a lot of news items about them in the 1914 and 1915 newspapers July 30, 1915 Van Buren Press-Argus JITNEY LINE TO SHIBLEY AND ALMA Some of the former Jitney Owners have established a line of jitneys between Fort Smith and Alma and are being very liberally patronized. The cars are making three round trips daily, having a regular schedule. During the busy fruit season that is now on, there will be much use of Jitneys between Van Buren and Alma, and especially between Van Buren and Shibley where the Van Buren Fruit Growers’ Union is loading peaches.
