Mansfield Dial-A-Bus Aims For Fully Computerized Service
Mansfield Ohio pioneers a dial-a-bus system aiming for door to door service in two to three years. Ford officials praise driver Burghard and transit planners expect routeless operations, with eight buses planned and supporters from United Telephone Co. and local transit groups. The Woodland route gains 30 percent ridership despite still losing money, and the main hurdle remains securing private radio-telephone service for customer calls.
