Break-even Benefit-Cost Analysis of Alternative Express Transit Systems

The town of Milwaukee commissioned research into the comparative merits of its existing Freeway Flier express bus; a controlled access system giving the Flier right of way and restricting access of automobiles on congested roads; and a busway with its own right of way. The existing system is found best; the busway is a poor third. Suggestions are made for applying the method used to other areas.
