Calculations have been made of the effect of private transport users in the central area of London transferring to public transport in peak periods. Several alternative systems were investigated all using buses; it was assumed that the flows of taxis and goods vehicles remained at their present levels. For each type of bus considered an optimum route density was found which minimised the total walking and waiting time for a given number of buses. Calculations of direct journey speeds were made for each of the proposed systems as well as for the present system using cars, buses and motor-cycles. The reserve passenger capacities for each system were calculated. Estimates were made of the operating costs and the passengers' time costs attributable to the various systems. The results of the calculations are critically dependent on a number of important assumptions and the validity of these are discussed in the report. (Author)
