Abstract This paper presents an economic evaluation of Los Angeles' San Bernardino Freeway express busway. The potential for efficiency of this mode in a highly dispersed metropolitan area is demonstrated. Findings indicate that the mixed-mode operations allowed on the facility generate a good part of the benefits. It is also suggested that a lane flow reversal design would have increased efficiency beyond that of the existing facility. Finally, the wisdom of recently enacted (California) legislation, requiring convertibility to rail transit on all future busway construction, is questioned.
