  • Description: Changes in the use of public transportation for commuting in the United States are examined here. Between 1960 and 1980, census data for 25 large metropolitan areas suggests that commuting by public transportation has declined both in importance relative to other modes and in the absolute numbers of commuters using transit. A statistical analysis suggests that the numbers of public transportation commuters are very closely related to the number of central business district (CBD) employees, rather than to overall metropolitan area size. Metropolitan areas with fixed rail services experienced greater than average declines in ridership.
