PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF COORDINATED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
An integrated system of coordinated transit services described is shown to offer potential improvements in the productivity and efficiency of transit operations in low density urban areas. The recommended method allows for a formal evaluation of feasible alternatives relative to the established system objectives, and the results of the evaluation can be interpreted to show how systems that provide minimal service levels can be implemented to evolve into a system with higher levels of service. Scheduling and transfer considerations are developed in a subsequent detailed design phase of the planning process.
