A factor analysis of survey responses identified five significant elements in the Shirley Highway commuter's decision not to ride a transit vehicle. These included: (1) his belief that the automobile is faster and more economical, (2) his affluence, (3) the inconvenience of transit to his place of employment, (4) a general antipathy towards commuting, and (5) the negative image of the transit company. These findings were applied to several problems in the Shirley Highway demonstration project to yield specific recommendations for optimizing service and attracting ridership. The author concludes that 'innovative' comfort features and other design factors may be relatively unimportant in attracting habitual automobile commuters to the express service. (Author)
