THIS PAPER OUTLINES A METHOD OF SAMPLING TRANSIT SERVICE TO OBTAIN COMPREHENSIVE DATA ON PASSENGER USAGE. THREE EXAMPLES OF SURVEYS USING THIS SAMPLE DESIGN ARE DESCRIBED - A BUS AND STREETCAR SURVEY IN THE PITTSBURGH AREA, AND RAILROAD AND BUS SURVEYS IN THE NEW YORK AREA. DIFFERENCES IN THE SURVEYS DUE TO REFINEMENTS IN SAMPLE DESIGN AND VARIATIONS IN THE DATA DESIRED ARE EXPLORED. COMPARISONS OF THE RESULTS OF THESE SURVEYS WITH COMPLETE ENUMERATIONS AT SELECTED POINTS ARE EXAMINED. /AUTHOR/
