CASE STUDIES OF PRIVATE MOTOR CARRIAGE

Using the case study method the contractor was directed to focus on the following four points: (1) The motivations which shaped the decision to use private motor carriage, (2) The degree to which the decision to use private motor carriage reflects a consideration of all pertinent factors, (3) The manner in which the motor carriage alternative was implemented, once chosen, and (4) The results of the private motor carriage operations.
