Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Except for regional bus firms, Greyhound Lines, Inc., is the only remaining nationwide provider of scheduled, regular-route intercity bus service, and it filed for bankruptcy protection in June 1990. This event climaxed decades of industry decline, which the Congress had hoped to reverse by passing the Bus Regulatory Reform Act of 1982. The General Accounting Office (GAO) was asked to (1) assess the magnitude and causes of the industry's decline since 1982, (2) identify the social and economic implications of this decline, (3) examine state programs that support intercity bus service, and (4) identify policy strategies for the Department of Transportation (DOT) to consider as it develops guidelines to address intercity bus needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Except for regional bus firms, Greyhound Lines, Inc., is the only remaining nationwide provider of scheduled, regular-route intercity bus service, and it filed for bankruptcy protection in June 1990. This event climaxed decades of industry decline, which the Congress had hoped to reverse by passing the Bus Regulatory Reform Act of 1982. Concerned that Greyhound's bankruptcy could leave a segment of the population without intercity public transportation, the Chairman, Surface Transportation Subcommittee, Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, asked GAO to (1) assess the magnitude and causes of the industry's decline since 1982, (2) identify the social and economic implications of this decline, (3) examine state programs that support intercity bus service, and (4) identify policy strategies for the Department of Transportation (DOT) to consider as it develops guidelines to address intercity bus needs. From the 1960s through the early 1980s, the intercity bus industry experienced ridership losses and higher operating costs-a combination that led to declining profits. Increased competition from rail and air transportation made it difficult for the bus industry to retain its share of the common carrier intercity travel market, which fell from 30 percent in 1963 to 12 percent in 1981. The Bus Regulatory Reform Act of 1982 diminished the roles of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) and state agencies in regulating the industry and gave bus firms greater freedom to set fares, enter markets, and discontinue unprofitable service. Regulatory relief for the bus industry in 1982 did not address the causes of the industry's decline: Shrinking rural populations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combined share of the intercity transportation market for buses and trains has been declining in recent years. In spite of the large Federal subsidies provided to Amtrak, the increased use of planes and cars have proven too competititive, resulting in lower profits and decreased service for bus companies and Amtrak. GAO's study of the fare structure of Amtrak as compared with the intercity bus system was difficult due to the differences in geographic areas, services provided, and rate structures, such as in the Northeast Corridor. GAO believes their analysis of the state of the intercity transportation supports the following conclusions. Bus ridership would increase if Amtrak services were terminated. The effect on the bus industry from Amtrak service and fare cutbacks would depend on the industry's reaction to those changes. In such areas as the Northeast Corridor, bus ridership has been closely linked to Amtrak's fare policies. If Amtrak were to limit their future fare increases to changes in the Consumer Price Index, bus industry profits would be squeezed even more due to constantly rising expenses. Less stringent standards on bus fares by the Interstate Commerce Commission could have an impact on keeping prices competitive between the buses and Amtrak. Congress has taken steps to help the bus industry but funds have not yet been appropriated.

This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most serious environmental problems of the twenty-first century have the potential to alter the course of life on this planet. Global warming, toxic waste, water and air pollution, acid rain, and shrinking energy supplies are frightening challenges that may threaten our future if we do not face up to them. Global Environmental Challenges provides important information and gives us hope about the environment. This book first helps us to grasp these difficulties, then shows us the choices we can make. How long to leave a light on, whether to take the car, the train, or bicycle to work, whether to recycle or throw away, whether to vote to curb continued suburban sprawl-all of these decisions can make a difference. This collection of some of the best essays and articles on the environment comes from a variety of sources, including journals, magazines, websites of ecological/conservation organizations, and other publications. Five major sections investigate the interaction of population growth, consumption, and environment; the emerging crisis in freshwater around the globe; global climate and atmosphere (including global warming); biodiversity loss; and the concept of sustainable development-using natural resources to place future human development on a sustainable path. The final section on sustainable development reveals how we can take action. As individuals, we can make a difference readily and easily without making huge personal sacrifices. As societies, we can work together in a global community of interest to sustain the earth. This valuable resource offers readers a better understanding of our environmental problems and presents solutions to improving the health of the planet.
