Evaluation of the San Bernardino Freeway Express Busway has been going on since it was opened in January 1973. From October 1976 through June 1978, carpools of three or more were permitted on this previously bus-only facility. The report evaluates mixed-mode (bus and carpool) operations of the busway; it includes a summary of the bus-only phase (Jan. 1973-Oct. 1976) as well as implications of this research to other possible busway developments. Data was collected from traffic studies and from written and oral surveys. All of the surveys are described in detail in Appendixes A through D of this report. This project has shown that busways can be cost-effective, non-controversial, and a way of attracting substantial numbers of solo auto drivers into buses and carpools. There are about 2600 people now carpooling as a direct result of mixed-mode busway operations. Surveys show that public opinion at all levels support the mixed-mode operation of the busway.
