A summary of the current status of demand responsive transportation systems is presented; technology, legal and regulatory aspects and the current status of dial-a-ride are discussed. Appendix is 'Dial-A-Ride and the Poor.' In review of PRT and dual-mode, topics are types of PRT and dual-mode systems, comparison of dual-mode versus PRT3 plus feeder bus, comments on R and D for automated guideway operations and the need for risk insurance. Information on foreign systems and research is included such as the overwater transit on the Thames in London, moving walkways in South Africa, Tokyo's monorail, dial-a-bus in Emmen, the Netherlands, and incorporation of intermodal integration into the transport system in Hamburg. References are furnished.
