Abstract

Urban transportation alternative are analyzed and it is shown that public transportation can be competive in speed and convenience with the automobile. A comparison of direct community financial costs for transportation systems is given to illustrate that a bus system offering good service is more expensive than the automobile-based system but that a simple automatic system could produce substantial savings.
