Amtrak's Economic Impact On

The Intercity Bus Industry






The Amtrak Improvement Act of 1978--
Public Law 95-421, Section 6--provides that
the Comptroller General shall, in consulta-
tion with the Secretary of Transportation
and the Interstate Commerce Commission,
conduct a study of the economic relation-
ship of the fare structure of the National
Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) to
the intercity bus industry.

This study addresses the specific issue men-
tioned in the act but also emphasizes the
complexity of the situation facing the inter-
city bus industry. Competition by Amtrak is
just one of the problems the bus industry
faces. Long-term socioeconomic trends and
competition from airlines and automobiles
have steadily decreased trains' and buses'
share of the intercity transportation market.
