Part 1 presents seven distinct purposes for urban public transportation services and develops a microscopic approach for their measurement. Forms and costs of public transportation are then reviewed. The sensitivity of manpower costs to changes in institutional arrangements for public transportation services is also reviewed. To augment the material presented primarily in Part 1 an appendix on techniques of discounted benefit-cost analysis is included at the end of the report. Part 2 presents a cost-based hierarchy of public transportation forms for meeting various route or service area performance levels. Socio-economic factors affecting patronage are reviewed. A general approach for developing public transportation service policies or standards in urban traffic corridors is then presented and illustrated. Part 3 presents a brief discussion of the development of public transportation system service standards for an entire urban area. Part 4 completes the report by reviewing general principles for establishing evaluation criteria and priorities among alternative opportunities for financial support of public transportation services.
