An understanding of current urban transit bus maintenance facility capabilities is needed for use in planning new facilities and for the evaluation of requests for aid. Industry guidelines, based on a survey of 55 properties with fleets of 11 to 4300 buses, were developed for garages, shops, service lanes, and capital equipment. Facility ages varied from new to 100 years; 61 percent were older than 21 years. Building costs varied from a low of $12 to $28 a square foot for indoor bus storage space, to a high of $55 to $82 a square foot for equipment intensive servicing facilities (1975 dollars). Cost multiplier curves for bid forecast years from 1975 to 1985 were developed, including inflation rates varying from 6 to 12 percent per year. Small, single facility properties (less than 100 buses) were found to have greater unit space needs for repairs than large properties.
