The impact of the Bus Regulatory Reform Act of 1982 on urban and rural transportation systems in requiring these systems to provide intercity bus feeder service is analyzed. It is concluded that requiring these systems to provide such feeder service will generally be beneficial to these systems if they do not have to be redesigned. If redesign is necessary to accommodate this type of feeder service, these urban and rural systems will probably not be an effective means of maintaining access for a given community to intercity bus service. Rather than subsidized intercity bus feeder service, it will be more effective for government to subsidize intercity bus service to be provided by an intercity bus carrier.
