Title: DIAL-A-RIDE AND BUS TRANSIT SERVICES: A MODE-CHOICE ANALYSIS
Accession Number: 00399873
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Because of the anticipated reduction in federal assistance funds, mass transit carriers in some localities are considering replacing or supplementing mass transit services with less costly paratransit services. In planning the addition of paratransit services, transit planners should be aware of those factors that affect an individual's choice of mass transit or paratransit services. A logit analysis of the factors that affect individuals' choice of bus transit or dial-a-ride paratransit services is presented. It is concluded that passenger perception of the reliability of dial-a-ride and bus transit and the accessibility of bus transit are primary factors that affect this decision.
