The assertion has frequently been made that suburban rail patronage could be improved if feeder bus service from outlying areas could be coordinated with the schedules of a rail service. This would effectively enlarge the tributary area of the suburban rail station, so many argue that this is the best way to attract spreading suburbanites from the highways back to public transportation, especially for journeys downtown. To test this concept in the Tri-State Region a mass transportation demonstration project was designed to determine whether such coordination of two modes of travel would indeed attract substantial journey-to-work and off-peak traffic when several alternatives are available.
