If you are asking about the effect of the Montgomery Bus Boycott were Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ralph Abernathy participated after Rosa Parks; in terms of how much money the Montgomery bus companies lost, it was about US$572,000 in today's money.


To visualize the effect of the boycott, roughly 40,000 African-Americans lived in Montgomery, 1955. Each fare was around US 10 cents, which back in the 1950's was equivalent to 80 US cents. If half of the African-American population caught the bus everyday in Montgomery back in 1955, the bus companies would have lost US$572,000 over the length of the boycott.
