Monograph

This collection of 15 papers is concerned with transit. Specific topics discussed include the following: impact of weather on transit ridership; video transit training for older travelers; determinants of perceptions of bus and train safety; market support for new products and services for transit and walking; Metro Orange Line (Los Angeles County, California) bus rapid transit project; TransMilenio (Bogota, Colombia) bus rapid transit system; service reliability and optimal running time schedules; bus arrival time prediction using Global Positioning System; bus stop spacing analysis using geographic information system tools; simulation of bus signal priority strategy; evaluation of transit signal priority and optimal signal timing plans; bus priority lanes as a countermeasure for congestion; quantifying the technical efficiency of paratransit systems; measuring demand management impacts in a sustainable compliance environment for the Americans with Disabilities Act; and exploring negative experiences and user loyalty in paratransit.
