Taxi feeder to bus demonstration project in the St. Bernard Parish (Louisiana). Final report, June 1976-December 1978
The taxi feeder demonstration project in the St. Bernard Parish (Louisiana) began in June 1976 and ended in April 1979. It was designed to study the use of taxicabs as a convenient means of extending public transportation coverage at a relatively low cost per passenger. The service, in existence since 1974, offered residents of the suburb of New Orleans the option to use a taxi for the trip to or from the bus stop. The cost of this trip is included in a joint fare for the entire trip. The report describes the demonstration setting and the project evolution. The impact of taxi feeders on regular bus and taxicab services and costs as well as on ridership and revenues is presented. The applicability of the procedures developed in this project for other areas is also discussed.
