Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual, 2nd Edition
TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 100: Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual, 2nd Edition contains background, statistics, and graphics on the various types of public transportation, and provides a framework for measuring transit availability and quality of service from the passenger point of view. The report contains quantitative techniques for calculating the capacity of bus, rail, and ferry transit services, and transit stops, stations, and terminals.
The current version of the manual that provides the most up-to-date information and methods, is
TCRP Report 165: Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual, Third Edition. The version of the manual linked below may still be used to replicate an older analysis based on the Second Edition, calculate transit level of service using standards tied to the 2nd Edition, or find material in the 2nd Edition referenced in other documents.
