SUMMARY OF CAPITAL AND OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE COST EXPERIENCE OF AUTOMATED GUIDEWAY TRANSIT SYSTEMS. COSTS AND TRENDS FOR THE PERIOD 1976-1979. SUPPLEMENT II

This report summarizes O&M cost experience and trends for the following AGT systems for the period 1976-1979: AIRTRANS, Sea-Tac, Tampa, Disneyworld (WEDway), and Morgantown (O&M data on the Morgantown system is reported through 1978). Capital cost data is reviewed on Morgantown Phase I, AIRTRANS, Tampa, Sea-Tac, Miami, Busch Gardens, Disneyworld, King's Dominion, and Fairlane. New capital cost data has been obtained from the Atlanta and Orlando Airports and the Minnesota Zoological Gardens. In addition to presenting capital and operating and maintenance costs and trends, this report includes analysis of the factors influencing these costs. A section on the differences between urban and non-urban settings of AGT systems has also been included and shows how the costs of existing non-urban systems might relate to a system in an urban deployment in terms of site conditions and site requirements.
