Transit: Marketing; Bus and Paratransit

TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2072 includes 15 papers that explore 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, and an in-vehicle interface design for bus collision warning systems.  This issue of the TRR also examines 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.
