WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT AUTHORITY--A STUDY OF BUS MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS

The report evaluates the effectiveness of the management and operational practices within the Metrobus system in relation to the level of services provided, and in relation to the emerging budgetary deficits. An objective was to determine those practices that have merit and identify others that could be improved with modification. The study was limited to WMATA's bus operations but there is some impact on the rail operations. The study presents 81 recommendations in a section entitled 'Executive Summary.' Content includes sections dealing with organization, finance, and operations.
