Meeting the demands of peak service commuting is expensive, requiring the purchase and maintenance of buses and railcars and employment of more transit workers than are needed outside of rush hours. Spreading work arrivals and departures more evenly over a longer period could eliminate the need to purchase or rehabilitate transit vehicles and could reduce labor costs. The employers and employees GAO surveyed in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh indicated a willingness to change their work hours away from peak commuting times. GAO also examined six transit routes in these cities and determined that fewer transit vehicles would be needed and reduced labor costs could be achieved by spreading the commuter work hours.
