The Adelaide dial a bus study

The results of a study of dial a bus public transport and of its possible application in metropolitan Adelaide are discussed in this paper. The study involved a review of theoretical research, feasibility studies and demonstration projects conducted overseas. It also included extensive market surveys and investigations into possible applications of dial a bus in specific areas in Adelaide. Both many to many and many to one applications were considered. A field experiment was subsequently conducted in which 12 buses were used to operate a many to many service over a large part of the Adelaide metropolitan area (a).
