Free transit and reduced transit fares have been proposed as a solution to many of the problems of automobile use. Using a sales tax to finance the deficit, Atlanta reduced fares to fifteen cents on its bus system while increasing route coverage and schedule frequency. The study examines the impact of these changes on transit ridership in the Atlanta area. Several longitudinal models of system-wide passenger volumes are developed. Estimates are made of the additional patronage attracted to the system by the fare and service changes.
