- A major cbjertivo of a public transport system is to provide trans -
portation to work, and cstmmercial eteas.
Tranr -:ortifion syst.ams must offer a high level of amenities to attract riders and to
develop a broader base of public support. Economic considerations dictate that the development of
transportation systems be incremental to provide ultimately the following:
1) Access to major, activity centers within the ootropolitan area.
2) Door -to-door travel time better than or comparable to that of the autombile.
This requires a sufficient number of stations and route lines in order to provide short wafting distances
and waiting times.
3) SocTal and environmental acceptabitity, includinq cost, comfort and service.
