| 摘要： | This study assesses the changing status of intercity bus service throughout the United States between 1960 and 2007. Drawing on data from more than 5,000 arrivals and departures in a representative sample of American cities, it shows that U.S. cities lost nearly one-third of their scheduled intercity service between 1960 and 1980 and more than half of the remaining services between 1980 and early 2006. Although commuter-bus and charter-bus business expanded greatly during this period, most regularly scheduled intercity service disappeared. Many consumers considered the remaining service to be a travel option of last resort. |
