The decline of intercity bus service and worsening fiscal constraints gave rise to the search for new approaches to solving the rural transportation problem. This Postal Bus study was intended to examine the institutional, regulatory, and operational issues associated with the implementation and operation of the postal bus concept in the United States. The overall conclusion is that the postal bus appears to be a feasible approach to providing passenger service where none currently exists and for achieving greater efficiencies in the provision of both types of service. As such, the postal bus concept has considerable potential as a rural transportation option.
