In late October 1963, a mass transportation demonstration project was inaugurated in New Brunswick, N. J., on the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The principal findings were the following: (1) Located outside the central business district of a suburban city, a Park 'N Ride station that has convenient vehicular access with ample parking space will attract new patrons to rail service. (2) The appeal of an outlying station primarily dependent upon the private automobile for access will be influenced by the availability of direct auto access routes from the surrounding residential areas. (3) The extent to which an outlying station, even with free parking, will attract passengers away from the suburban city center station is conditioned by the frequency of train service at the outlying station as contrasted with the center station.
