Abstract:This report summarizes the development and operation of three shared-ride taxi operations at major U.S. airports. These are: New York's LaGuardia Airport Share-A-Cab; Super Saver Taxi in Chicago; and Share-A-Cab service at Boston's Logan Airport. The Chicago operation provided service from O'Hare and Midway Airports and also, for a short time, within three downtown zones. The report presents information on ridership, costs, and special operating characteristics derived from personal interviews, on-site observations, and review of accumulated data. Special attention is paid to the institutional environment in which the services were implemented, and the special role played by institutional and operational factors in the success or failure of the services.
