STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE NEW YORK - WASHINGTON, D.C. RAIL PASSENGER SERVICE, 1970

The report displays and discusses the socioeconomic and attitudinal characteristics of Metroliner passengers. Analysis of socioeconomic data indicates that Metroliner patrons more nearly resemble Northeast Corridor air passengers than Corridor conventional rail passengers. In general Metroliner passengers are much more pleased with the Metroliner's equipment and services than conventional rail passengers are with conventional facilities; however, when rating older facilities shared by both groups, such as terminal facilities, Metroliner and conventional train passengers are in close agreement.
