Robert Hill and Carol A. Lewis, Texas Southern University, July 2007, 51 pp. (473700-00048-1)
This document identifies those dynamics that facilitate a city’s addition of light rail as a successful component of its urban system, with success deemed to be opening on schedule with minimal start-up issues. The study examines several new systems and queries the tasks undertaken prior to initiation of service. The similarities are iterated based on the research findings leading to a defined order for including light rail transit in a previously all bus system with a large portion of attention to role of the operators.
