The report represents one part of a larger project to determine where and under what conditions automated guideway transit (AGT) will provide cost-effective service that satisfies urban area travel demand. In Volume 3, a two-phase survey consisting of an exploratory phase (6 group interviews) and a quantitative phase (550 personal interviews) was conducted. Consumer transportation preferences are reported in terms of the importance attached to selected features (transit mode, price, travel time, frequency of service). Factors such as system location, vehicle size, vehicle reliability, driver/station attendants, station location, and seat guarantee are addressed. These factors are examined by four purpose/destination segments (work and non-work travel, downtown and suburban areas) and the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of survey participants.
