Presentation Recording Slide deck Lexington Transportation Survey for Employees (google.com) Lexington Transportation Survey for Employers (google.com) The two surveys can be distributed on employees of local employers. Other bus networks had not released ridership data. Sally -interested in the transit network,information about current micro transit systems The recent systems were looking for additional funding sources,so are probably not sustainable.What are the size of the cities and the populations and the frequency of the routes etc. Barr Turner -the similar networks have been called out in the report.The fare structure was extremely expensive,almost $7 for one ride which is near a taxi.In the final report there is a description.They are all somewhat larger than lexington,Have a ridership above 100k and populations much larger.Number of routes,but frequency hasn’t been called.Most of these were minibusses,some offered different vehicles for different routes.But mini buses were the most common. Lexpress and the MA system is the closest to a comprehensive regional transportation option. The other cities did not have these options. Bridger -Percentage basis in the comparison with other towns so we can make comparisons. Mission Hill was surprising.It's piggy backed on Mission Hill -Baptist hospital transportation for their employees.They have 4 shuttles which bring their employees up to the hill.They have one extra shuttle which was paid by the Baptist hospital.It's the 5th bus which is probably getting a cheaper contract because of the other 4.The 5th bus is for anyone who needs teh ride. Not well distinguished from teh other 4 employee only rides.
