A project (1971-1972) to determine the transportation needs of the elderly in Butte, Montana involved 3 kinds of transportation made available to elderly persons. The regular bus and taxi transported more people more cheaply than the special bus, but the special bus, provided with staff to give special assistance, was found to involve elderly persons in meaningful interaction, as well as serve those who could not be served by either of the other 2 types.
