The paper provides estimates of operating and total deficits incurred in 1970 by urban public transportation properties classified by urbanized area and mode. The operating deficit for all properties incurring such deficits in 1970 is estimated to be $190 million. Of this amount, the bus deficit was $109 million and the rail rapid transit deficit was $81 million. The total deficit for 1970 is estimated to be $450 million, exclusive of way and structure costs. The largest bus deficits were incurred in urban areas with populations of one to five million people; the largest rail rapid transit deficits were incurred in urban areas with populations over five million people.
