Abstract:

In this introductory statement (to the conference on issues in public transportation) the observation is made that persons involved in different aspects of public transportation must be brought together in order that different points of view may be explicated and areas of agreement and disagreement may be identified. Disagreement on either the problems or the solutions should be resolved through an open communication process in which all concerned parties participate. Speakers at the conference are representative of the urban area, the taxicabs industry, the transit industry, labor unions and regulatory bodies. The questions addressed were: What are the more severe problems in your area of public transportation at the present time? What are the more severe problems in your area of public transportation that will exist in the next 10 to 20 years? Can these problems be resolved through technological, political or social expertise? What should be done to alleviate these problems? Who should take the initiative in resolving these problems?
