The study is the first evaluation of a dial-a-ride operation in Britain. A many-to-two dial-a-ride service has been in operation in Maidstone since August 1972. The report assesses the degree to which the scheme has achieved the goals of operational viability, social equity and consumer satisfaction. None appeared to be satisfied, but much useful data on operational procedures and passenger requirements were forthcoming which should ensure better results in trials to be held elsewhere.
