Use characteristics and demographics of rural transit riders: a case study in Tennessee
Summary. Rural transit riders in Tennessee using deviated fixed route and demand responsive services are predominantly captive riders with limited transportation alternatives. These riders typically have lower incomes, fewer cars, and are more likely to be renters and non-white. Medical care is their primary trip purpose, distinguishing them from intercity bus users. Education levels correlate with openness to using rural transit services.
