This is the familiar bus route in which a vehicle,

usually a bus, travels a consistent path, stopping at

specific locations at scheduled times one or more

days each week.

This model can be efficient in communities with

dense populations and large numbers of people

who have easy access to routes.

Its called dial-a-ride, as this model resembles a taxiservice. A rider calls a provider to schedule pick-up at

the rider's location and transportation to a destination.

Rides may be convenient, but riders often must call

well in advance.

Those who call too late may be denied a ride because

the schedule for a particular day or time is already

established.

If a scheduled rider is delayed or takes longer to enter

the vehicle than anticipated, the rest of that day's

schedule is affected.

timetable, but can alter its course between stops to go

to a specific location for a pre-scheduled request.

This is often used in less densely populated

communities with fewer transit vehicles.

This model accommodates the distance from theindividuals location or destination to the route.

Local human service agencies that own and operate vehicleswork together to develop local plans, and may pool

purchases of fuel and maintenance services.

The most powerful coordination strategies for reducing

inefficiencies are reducing the number of drivers and the

total driver wages paid, reducing the number of vehicles and

other capital costs, and reducing administrative staff and

administrative labor costs.

The most powerful coordination strategies for increasing

service effectiveness include extending service hours andboundaries, offering services that are more responsive to

customer needs, and offering higher quality and safer

services, all of which will attract more riders.
