Title: CONFERENCE REPORT: EFFICIENT INTERMODAL TRAVEL--THE REALITY OR MYTH; OPENING COMMENTS
Accession Number: 00378503
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The author sees a greater need for intermodal systems as more and more people are priced out of their automobiles. While public transportation can never match the flexibility of the private car, its flexibility can be improved through the development of convenient intermodal possibilities. Among the author's recommendations: air, bus and rail carriers underwriting a comprehensive travel information and reservation center and more rail-bus terminals (e.g. relocating Greyhound and Trailways to Washington's Union Station).
