Abstract:The Third Progress Report marks the completion of six months experiments in the program conducted by the Mass Transportation Commission, with the cooperation of the Office of Transportation of the Housing and Home Finance Agency. As of mid-June, experiments with two railroads, six bus companies and the Metropolitan Transit Author- ity were in progress. In addition, two bus experiments have been completed. This Progress Report contains considerable material which should be of wide interest to all concerned with the future of public transportation. Among the more notable items included are (a)up-to-date information on the Boston and Maine lines indicating that passenger volume has continued to increase,(b)revenue figures indicating that total fares paid by new riders have off-set the overall experimental fare reduction,(c)a survey of Boston and Maine passengers, analyzing the diversion of new passengers from highway and other forms of public transportation,(d)an analysis of the terminated Lynnfield bus experiment,and (e)parking data survey information on the MTA parking lot experiment which offer grounds for concluding that this particular experiment has resulted in substantially increased use of rapid transit facilities. In addition to presenting new material developed between mid-April and mid-June, this Report has been prepared as a self-contained, six-months' summary study incorporating much of the basic information first two Progress Reports.
