• Abstract:
  The results of the survey of the Metroliner telephone users show that 11.5% of the passengers used the telephone. Among the users 71% had to wait, 73.5% of the passengers recommended telephone service, and 37.2% were for television. The average telephone demand was estimated. Three computer programs were provided for: (1) space-time diagram of the trains on the track, (2) the number of trains on the track, and (3) the telephone channel-capacity distribution of each train including the loading factor of each channel.
