The study recommends headways and hours of service for Metro Link tributary bus routes, along with estimates of operating requirements. It addresses schedule coordination between bus and rail and among bus routes, including a shuttle link and timed transfers. It identifies opportunities for redeploying service that would no longer be needed, in order to improve service. The overall goal of the feeder bus plan is to make cost-effective changes in bus routes and service to enhance regional mobility for the greatest number of passengers. Weekday vehicle-miles in the Metro Link tributary area would be reduced by approximately 7.7% or nearly one million miles per year. Weekend service would be increased. The number of daily bus trips in the Metro Link tributary area will increase by almost 11%. This reflects the fact that some long routes are being truncated or eliminated, while new and shorter feeder routes are being established. The peak bus fleet would decrease by 38 in the morning and 51 in the afternoon, while 9 additional buses will be used in the midday period. Depending on the budgetary situation, the savings could be used to help cover the cost of rail operations, or to further improve bus service.
