Abstract

For varying passenger capacity on hypothetical new routes, costs of bus-on-bus ways with train rapid transit, are compared. Operating and maintenance costs for near-future bus systems or train systems are presented. The paper also makes a prognosis of future developments in train and bus technology that will enhance the quality of service and afford some possibility of cost reduction. A discussion is added.
