 Minibus vs Regular Bus Breakeven Analysis 1995   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Cost models for both minibus and regular bus are the same as used in earlier calculations in the ongoing Advanced Minibus Concept project [1, p.42 and p.56, respectively].
However, since minibus must add an additional vehicle for each added 1 5 passengers, this slack does not exist up front, so that accommodating peaks with a low base demand incurs a higher cost on minibus than on regular bus for an equal rate of passengers per hour in the off peak.
Each route in the minibus network is the same length as the routes in the regular bus network, and the minibuses run at a shorter headway due to their higher average speed.

 Yale Daily News - Minibus needs changes to better serve students   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A freshman who hops on the Minibus at Phelps Gate, for instance, would have to wait up to 15 minutes simply for the bus to arrive at Phelps, and then another 12 minutes for the bus to travel to Payne-Whitney Gymnasium or 17 minutes for the bus to travel to the School of Management.
This minibus, which would be primarily responsible for meeting the nighttime needs of undergraduates, would circle the central campus and make stops at most of the gates on Old Campus, various residential colleges, Yale libraries and office buildings, Swing Space, Payne-Whitney Gymnasium and Commons.
This would allow the nighttime Minibus to be used for both social and academic purposes, a convenience that would, in turn, result in increased awareness and usage of the minibus at all hours of the day and on all days of the week.
