Abstract

This paper discusses whether the intermediate-capacity transit line is economically viable and acceptable in the community-social sense. In terms of capacity, the studies underline problem inherent in coping with large peak passenger-handling capacities by conventional full-scale bus services (in the order of a bus per minute flows)--that of high operating cost very susceptible to inflation.
