description THERE SEEM TO BE THREE MAIN CONCLUSIONS THAT CAN BE DRAWN FROM THIS CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY OF THE DEMAND FOR URBAN BUS TRAVEL IN 1966. FIRST, THE TWO FOLD DIVISION OF DEMAND FOR BUS TRAVEL BY PURPOSE IS CLEARLY A VALUABLE INNOVATION. THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO TYPES OF DEMAND IS THAT THE JOURNEY TO WORK TRIPS ARE NOT RESPONSIVE TO THE LEVEL OF BUS FARES. SECOND, THE CHOICE OF THE DETERMINANTS OF DEMAND IN THE MODEL IS SATISFACTORY IN THAT THEIR EXPLANATORY VALUE IS CONSIDERABLE. NO COEFFICIENT HAS A VALUE WHICH MIGHT REASONABLY BE REJECTED A PRIORI AS FALSE. THIRD, THE DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SIZE AND THE TWO TYPES OF DEMAND HAS IMPORTANT IMPLICATIONS FOR THE RATIO OF PEAK TO OFF-PEAK TRAFFIC. MUNICIPAL BUS OPERATORS CONCENTRATE ON PROVIDING WITHIN TOWN SERVICES. THE LARGER THE TOWN, THE GREATER THE IMPORTANCE OF BUSES IN CATERING FOR JOURNEYS TO WORK WITHIN THE TOWN. TABLES.
