USE OF COMPLIMENTARY PASSES TO IMPROVE RIDERSHIP ON BUS TRANSIT SYSTEMS

The research described examines a complimentary pass package distribution in terms of its ability to attract new passengers to urban bus transit lines. Part one of the study examines, by means of a survey of transit operators, any past uses of complimentary pass packages to a random sample in a selected city and determined subsequent pass utilization by various market subgroups. An attitudinal survey of pass recipients' feeling toward various transportation issues is also conducted.
