Operating and Capital Expenses - Suburban / SMART The primary reason people don't use buses is because of long transfer times that makes the trip take too long. This problem is largely solved as illustrated in the picture. |

It is generally not practical to transfer more then
once due to time and funding constraints. The
superimposing of a state funded* backbone with a
central hub and end points connected together
overcomes the problem of one person having near
instant bus service and another not having any
service at all. The hub and end point connections are
essential to maximize ridership. The use of state
fuel taxes is justified for this purpose because the
benefits exceed its costs and the rate of return
exceeds that of alternative investments. |
