Included in the report are methodology, assumptions and findings for an analysis of ridership, gross revenues, operating expenses, and net revenues of the Regional Rapid Rail Transit Plan and Program, March 1, 1968 (revised February 7, 1969). Also included is a description and discussion of coordinated bus and rail operation, an analysis of the financial impact upon the four private bus companies, and an analysis of three alternative fare systems. The findings, which are detailed for each year from 1972 through 2030 in the report, indicate that in 1990 approximately 293,000,000 riders will use the rapid rail transit system. Gross revenues after splitting fares with the bus companies may be expected to total $89,000,000 and operating and maintenance expenses will be $32,000,000, leaving over $57,000,000 for depreciation and debt service. The report also covers an analysis of the financial situation of the bus companies with the advent of rail transit and indicates that the companies can maintain a satisfactory situation with the fare split described in the report.
