The report is concerned with the technical feasibility of providing priority operation for buses on urban freeways by employing freeway surveillance and control. Under this system, designated the Bus-Freeway System, the buses would be provided priority access to the freeway via exclusive bus ramps; automobiles would be metered into the system so as to utilize the excess capacity but short of that volume which would jeopardize the desired level of transit service.
