Master Transportation Plan Task 4: Gap Analysis and Needs Network
attracts riders relative to the LOS provided. Figure 21 displays productivity by mode—MB (Motor Bus), DR (Demand Response), VP (Vanpool), and CR (Commuter Rail)—for Trinity Metro and peer agencies (DART, VIA, CapMetro, and Houston METRO). Figure 21: Peer City System Productivity
For motor bus productivity, Trinity Metro falls below peer agencies, with approximately 9 riders per hour compared to the 17 to 18 riders per hour for CapMetro, DART, and Houston METRO. For demand response, Trinity Metro shows significantly lower productivity, with fewer than 3 riders per hour. In contrast, DART and CapMetro achieve 13 to 14 riders per hour. Vanpool productivity is more consistent across agencies, with Trinity Metro performing on par or slightly above others. DART’s commuter rail system stands out with extremely high productivity (~19 riders per hour), compared to lower commuter rail figures for Trinity Metro and others. These results suggest that while Trinity Metro performs reasonably well in vanpool operations, there is substantial opportunity to improve productivity in fixed-route bus and demand-response services.
