Monograph

This collection of 15 papers is concerned with transit marketing and various aspects of bus and paratransit operations. Specific topics discussed are as follows: a farecard passenger flow model; mode shift from transit to single-occupancy vehicles on a high-occupancy toll lane; an integrated passenger information system; an automated bus origin-destination matrix; bus-only shoulders; intermittent and dynamic transit lanes; in-vehicle interface designs for bus collision warning systems; microscopic simulation for analysis of transit signal priority for bus rapid transit; bus rapid transit systems in Latin America and Asia; bus rapid transit in San Francisco, California; improving bus passenger transfers; transit extraboard management; modeling the factors affecting bus stop dwell time; the gap between public transport vehicles and platforms - a barrier for the disabled; and assessing schedule qualities in paratransit.
