· South Route 17 miles 27 minutes <br />· Central Route 15 miles 36 minutes <br /> <br />The travel times may be higher depending on the number of stops and more detailed route <br />analysis. Instead of staying on major roads, it may be advantageous to get closer to major <br />apartment and other housing areas to attract more riders. Clearly there is a trade off between <br />speed and riders. The fewer the number of stops the fewer the potential riders but the higher <br />the average speed for the buses. <br /> <br />With the above routes and travel times, it would appear that four buses/vans would be <br />neces~-y for normal operations with a fifth available as a spare. This would depend upon <br />whether the operating authority wished to buy the buses or contract with a private (or public) <br />operator to provide the service. This level of service represents a modest start for scheduled <br />operations, while providing end to end connectivity through the corridor. This would be an <br />important factor in providing access to many of the social service and medical deStinations. <br /> <br />Operating Cost Estimates <br /> <br />The operating cost estimates for the routes are based on North Carolina State average costs for <br />similar services in similar sized areas. The costs could also vary depending on whether they <br />are authority operated or a purchased service. The, daily operating costs~ by route, are <br /> <br />estimated to be in the range of: <br /> <br />· North $281 to $312 <br />· Middle $216 to $240 <br />· South $367 to $408 <br />· Central $324 to $360. <br /> <br />Total estimated daily costs to operate all four routes would then be $1,188 to $1,320. On an <br />annual basis (250 days) this would be $297.000 to $330,000. <br /> <br />Since this chapter of the report was initially written, a cost scenario has been developed <br />using an hourly rate for service as opposed to a cost/mile of operation as shown above. <br />These new costs are shown in Chapter 6 of this report. <br /> <br />§unnett Fleming <br />ENGINEERS AND PLANNERS <br /> <br /> <br />
