Abstract

The authors review the research conducted on feeder transportation systems for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) systems. The study found that conventional bus systems would not substitute for the private automobile and that they would not be feasible as a feeder system or as a combined feeder- local transit system. New forms of public transportation will be needed. The study suggests the possibility of using small, publicly owned, electrically powered cars to solve the transit feeder system problem.
