2014 Transit Bus Fleet Survey: Top Fleets Taking Steps to Attract Growing Market Segments

摘要

With usage amongst millennials and Baby Boomers gaining popularity, many agencies are reporting measures to pull more of these segments onboard, including targeted marketing programs and increased technologies. Meanwhile, the amount of alternative-fueled vehicles has nearly doubled over the last 10 years. To mark METRO's 110th year, we added 10 more transit agencies to our Top 100 Bus Fleets survey, which is topped by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) New York City Transit/MTA Bus Co. with 6,782 total vehicles. This is the first year the MTA has combined the two fleets into one number, with the total fleet count coming in at 10% of the 68,835 vehicles reported by 110 transit agencies, covering three countries and 33 states. The amount of total vehicles climbed 16% compared to 2004's 59,337 total reported and 5% compared to 2013.
