Samenvatting
Communities are rediscovering the promise of paratransit-jitney systems with modern communications, such as dial-a-bus-for meeting low-density transit demands. Other paratransit modes include taxis, car pools, subscription buses, and mini cars. In a city of 200,000 in which 1 percent of all trips are now made by public transit, a dial-a-ride system might capture 3 to 15 percent of all trips with capital costs of less than $ 1.25 per trip.
