Supplement III: Cost Experience of Automated Transit
This report summarizes operations and maintenance (O&M) cost experience for the following AGT systems for the period 1976-1980: Airtrans, Sea-Tac, Tampa, Disneyworld (WEDway), Pearl Ridge, Minnesota Zoo, and Morgantown. O&M data on the Morgantown system is reported through 1980 (excluding data for the year 1979). Capital cost data is reviewed on Morgantown, Airtrans, Tampa, Sea-Tac, Miami, Busch Gardens, Disneyworld, King's Dominion, Fairlane, Atlanta and Minnesota Zoological Gardens. Updated data has been reported on Orlando and new data for the refined Houston Airport System. System characteristics are presented for both the Duke and Pearl Ridge systems, although no cost information is available at this time. In addition to presenting capital and operating and maintenance costs and trends, this report includes analysis of the factors influencing these costs. A section on the differences between urban and non-urban settings of AGT systems has been included and shows how the costs of existing non-urban systems might relate to a system in an urban development in terms of site conditions and site requirements. An appendix describing individual systems in detail is also included.
