From page 47...
... A full calculation of the economic impact of feeder service requires consideration of the following factors: • Implementation and planning costs; • Continuing added operational costs for scheduling, coordination, and trip planning; and • Continuing operation cost savings resulting from reduced paratransit mileage per trip for feeder service compared to direct paratransit service. Operational cost savings from reducing paratransit vehicle time can be estimated by calculating the average duration of the APPENDIX D Honolulu: Methodology for Examining the Feasibility of Feeder Service

... OUTCOME OF THE FEASIBILITY OF FEEDER SERVICE ANALYSIS Based on the initial analysis of potential feeder service on Oahu, it was decided that a limited scale pilot program may be the most effective approach to testing the effectiveness of this model, with a focus on those trips that most clearly meet the feeder criteria that had been established. At the time of this report, the lack of clearly cost-beneficial feeder candidates resulted in a postponement of further exploration of feeder service on the island of Oahu.
