The technical study analyzed existing transit systems in the Austin, Texas, metropolitan area. Elements and characteristics of the privately-operated city bus transit system are described in detail; other forms of transportation, the University of Texas shuttle bus and the Model Cities Transportation Project, are also discussed. Attention is given to the relationship among these transit systems. Survey data were collected with reference to trip distribution and ridership patterns and characteristics. The report also contains survey data comparing transit riders and non-riders. Evaluations of city and model neighborhood transit service were performed using criteria developed for routing, operations, stop selection, shelters, terminals, fares, and ridership. (Author)
