Abstract:

Public transit professionals continue to seek methods that offer greater service opportunities, while ; not materially increasing the costs of service provision. One strategy is to construct bus transit ; centers which operate much like the airline hub and spoke concept. More frequent destinations ; can be made available with shorter patron wait times and minimal to no increase in the number of ; bus hours. Patrons tend to appreciate the convenience of a transfer occurring in a lighted facility, ; in addition to the increased level of bus service. In many cases, there is an anticipation of higher ; density residential near these areas. A number of the bus based centers may be close to single ; family neighborhoods. Residents might express concerns about the value of their property given ; the presence of a bus transit center near their home. Besides the bus transit centers that serve ; traditional local or express routes, a number of cities are planning bus rapid transit lines with ; stations that might lead nearby communities to ask similar questions about property values. This ; study assesses the effect of bus transit centers in Houston, Texas, on nearby single family ; residential property values.
