NEW TRANSIT CAPACITY AND QUALITY OF SERVICE MANUAL

A new "Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual" has been published that represents a synthesis of North American practice related to transit capacity and quality of service. The manual addresses both bus and rail transit modes and transit terminals, and includes basic capacity concepts, detailed analytical procedures, and sample problems. The manual also includes a systematic approach to assessing transit quality of service from the passenger point-of-view, and includes a transit quality of service framework that relates service measures to transit availability and quality, for transit stops, route segments, and systems.
