Annual Summary of Trends in Urban Mass Transportation for the United States of America
The 1977-1978 edition of the Transit Fact Book is the fourth annual edition compiled by the American Public Transit Association (APTA); the 19771978 edition is also the thirty-fifth annual edition of this publication formerly issued under the same title by the American Transit Association (ATA) for 31 years. Identified as the '77-'78 Transit Fact Book, this edition includes information concerning the U.S. transit industry through the end of calendar year 1977. Data reported for calendar year 1977 are preliminary.
Transit industry trends reported in the Transit Fact Book are for organizations, both publicly owned and privately owned, providing urban public transit service in the United States of America including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Summary tables in the Transit Fact Book report operating and financial data for all United States transit systems operating motor buses, heavy rail cars, light rail cars, trolley coaches, cable cars, and inclined plane cars. Data for commuter railroad, common-carrer automated guideway transit railways, ferry boats, public paratransit, and dial-a-ride bus services not an integral part of a fixed-route transit system are not included in operating and financial data summary tables. Non-transit services such as taxi-cab, school bus, unregulated jitney, sightseeing bus, intercity bus, intercity railroad, and special application mass transportation systems (e.g., amusement parks and airports) are excluded. Please note: when comparing statistics in the Transit Fact Book with statistics from other publications, care must be exercised in order to ensure that the terms "transit" and "transit system" define identical forms of service.
Changes in figures reported for calendar year 1976 and prior years will be found when comparing the '77-'78 Transit Fact Book with information published in the '76-'77 Transit Fact Book and earlier editions. These changes are adjustments necessary to account for subsequent refinement of information.
