The paper presents findings on initial changes in service reliability following Tri-Mets deployment of anew bus system using automatic vehicle location and automatic passenger counter technology. Changes in on-time performance, headway variation, run time variation, and tun times were determined with respect to pre-deployment levels. Changes in headway variation and run times were also used to estimate the initial benefits of the new system with respect to operating costs, passenger awaiting, and passenger travel time.
