The Ann Arbor Transportation Authority introduced Night Ride, a late-night shared-ride taxi transit service, in mid-March 1982. The service was provided through a contract with a local taxicab company. Night Ride was a successful service in terms of ridership, cost and community acceptance. Ridership grew to 2339 passengers per month by the end of the demonstration, and the productivity reached a maximum monthly average of 4.2 passengers per vehicle hour. The evaluation report concludes that, despite some site-specific factors, services like Night Ride should succeed in other communities with similar levels of nighttime travel demand.
