Reliability and Efficiency
How long does it take you to plan a trip? Imagine planning 1.4 million trips a year! The RTC's Transit Department does just that with amazing results. As our roads become more congested and the price of gas continues to break records, riders have even more reasons to take transit as an alternative to driving alone when they consider a recent report on our on-time performance.
Reliability is an important component for both transit riders and the RTC and our on-time record happens to be one of the best in the country. In 2007, the RTC’s average on-time performance was 95.9-percent. On-time performance is based on the RTC's measurements of nearly 6.5-million time point departures throughout the Las Vegas Valley. By responding to the data gathered from these time points, in the last 12 months we’ve been able to improve reliability by twenty-five percent.

Famous quotes containing the word efficiency:
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
