| Abstract | This volume is viewed today as a classic reference on manual scheduling practices. It represents a comprehensive effort made over 30 years ago to pull together the state of the practice in this field, and many of those practices still remain valid today. Because of the classic nature of this reference, it is reproduced unchanged from its original edition. Operators today should note that some of the technological references in the original volume are dated, and that the advent of hand calculators, data management systems, and microcomputers may have facilitated some of the processes described. These areas in the report should be fairly easy to recognize. The original report describes in detail an approach for establishing and revising transit schedules and illustrates it with the experiences of a representative transit company. Individual chapters cover passenger load data, running time data, the headway order, compiling the terminal sheet, run cutting, and distribution of schedule information. The document should be especially useful to transit planners and operations managers with responsibility for establishing schedules. |
