  • Are Intercity Bus Service Needs Being Adequately Met? Case Study of a Rural State
    Abstract: The objective of this study are to develop a methodology to determine if intercity bus (ICB) needs are adequately met, and to define “meaningful connections” if ICB service, which are demonstrated by using the rural state of Montana as a case study. The methodology includes survey of riders and the general public, as well as connectivity analysis of ICB service. Spatial network analysis, scheduled analysis, and survey of local transit providers were conducted to analyze network connectivity of ICB service in Montana. Moreover, a definition of “meaningful connections” for ICB in Montana was developed by using a hierarchy of criteria (population, distance, connection timeframe, days of service, etc). Finally, conclusions were made regarding ICB needs in Montana. It is anticipated that the proposed method may be used as a process to determine if ICB needs are adequately met, especially rural states.
