CHAPTER 6 – EXPRESS BUS PLANS Estimates of rolling stock requirements (number of buses) are based upon trip cycle times for the service provided. Routes would travel along major Interstate and State routes. There will be intermediate stops in Omaha and Lincoln. The Omaha-Lincoln service will have a mid-route stop at Gretna. Capacity improvements in bus routes will mitigate congestion and provide for future run times that equal achievable times today. The improvements per route are identified in Chapter 2. Express bus services will be integrated with MAT and StarTran transit services in Omaha and Lincoln, facilitating rider’s journeys to and from work. The one-way trip full fare is $5 for express bus between Lincoln and Omaha; $4.25 between Fremont and Omaha; and $3.50 between Blair and Omaha and between Gretna and Omaha. Average fares (a mix of discounted fares and cash fares, less a transfer to local buses) are 60 percent of full fares. Fare collection is assumed to be on board the bus, with passengers able to purchase prepaid fares via mail, on-line, via TVMs at transfer points and park-and-ride lots, or through employer subsidized / distributed “Eco Pass” sales. A more detailed description of each scenario follows, and a summary of all the proposed express bus service scenarios appears in Table 6-1. SCENARIO A: COMMUTER RAIL AND EXPRESS BUS Scenario A would provide commuter rail service between Lincoln and Omaha and commuter express bus service between Fremont and Omaha and between Blair and Omaha. The commuter rail service is explained in Chapter 5 and is not described here. Details of the express bus components of Scenario A are discussed below and summarized in Table 6-2. Express Bus Service Components Scenario A would also include express bus service between Omaha and Fremont (Route A1) and between Omaha and Blair (Route A2). Commuter quality bus service levels will be provided with 30-minute headways during the AM and PM peak periods. The service is designed for the morning peak trip to work and the evening peak return trip home. Both Fremont and Blair are bedroom communities to Omaha; thus the dominant trip desire lines would be inbound to Omaha in the morning and outbound from Omaha in the PM. A summary of Scenario A costs and revenues in 2010 appears in Table 6-2. 384180 NEBRASKA TRANSIT CORRIDORS STUDY Page 6 - 4 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES
