Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The relationship between transportation services and economic development has been well established. An interesting case study of this link is the casino bus transportation system serving Atlantic City, New Jersey. The casino buses provide a premium intercity bus service connecting numerous metropolitan areas in the Northeast Corridor with nine casinos. The casino buses bring more than ten million visitors to this resort community annually and in large measure have contributed to the economic success of legalized casino gambling. In this paper a description is presented of how the service is provided including the various subsidies and incentives provided by the casinos. Bus and passenger volumes, which indicate the dimensions of this privately operated bus service, are also presented. There is a discussion of the economic benefits of the special bus service as well as of the necessary role of government.
