The project concentrated on the implementation, demonstration, and evaluation efforts necessary to modify two existing CBD bus transit routes. The project linked the Port Authority Bus Terminal, the major transfer facility for commuter bus travel from New Jersey to midtown Manhattan, with destinations poorly served by the CBD transit system by diverting buses from portions of the existing routes with low patronage levels. This problem was previously identified by a planning study also performed for the Urban Corridor Demonstration Program. After 20 months of operation, the more successful reroute had 2100 peak-period passengers boarding at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. The project demonstrated that minor modifications to existing transit routes can produce significant patronage increases.
