The diagram shows the new Chicago Motor coach rainy-day route at the 12th street entrance to the World's Fair.

During the day the buses deposit passengers at a canopy that leads to the entrance, and after nine p.m. passengers may alight within the grounds between 12th and 14th streets. A system of canopies makes it possible for visitors to arrive at the gate, enter the grounds, and take a bus to any building without getting wet.
