The Chesapeake Mass Transportation Demonstration Project, in attempting to provide adequate mass transportation to a growing city, has definite relationships to both local and metropolitan planning objectives. The Great Bridge Express Line and feeder routes were operated to test and study the design and improvement of a transit system serving a suburban community. The project was one of several pilot studies initiated throughout the United States to demonstrate various concepts and approaches to public transportation in such areas. The specific facet tested by this program was to determine whether residents of a suburban community would use public transportation for work trips to a central city if frequent, low cost, express bus service was made available.
