Seven papers all have a basic relation to the mechanical side of the transit industry. The first involves the entry of AM General into the bus manufacturing field, with a current model bus, and in the TRANSBUS program. The next describes the Canadian program for conversion, design, operation, and activities of the Canadian transit industry to the metric system. Third is the description of a computer-oriented system for obtaining public transit information from the Transportation Research Board. Next is a discussion of articulated buses, followed by a review of the New York City Transit Authority rail construction program including design, details, tunnels, stations, and costs. Then comes a report on the Toronto system for identifying employees with supervisory potential. Last is a paper on the European program for advertising on the exterior and interior of transit vehicles.
