The document describes an urban transportation subsystem which combines features of buses and taxis into a single mode. The basic operating mode is that of group-riding taxis which have been in use for many years. What is new in the system is the combination of advanced electronic techniques of communication and data processing together with a mathematically-based dispatching operation. The net result is a system which, under a variety of operational conditions, can give taxi-like, door-to-door service at a cost close to that of the bus. (Author)
