PAT's goal, Bond said "is to make transit so attractive to the commuter and the mid-day user that he will voluntarily and willingly trade his car For clear air, reduced travel times, money savings and convenience." In his prepared text, Bond said one fully occupied modern urban transit bus can replace 35 automobiles. And, he added, with the latest pollution control devices installed on PAT vehicles, a bus "is 12 times as efficient at its job as the automobile." Bond said PAT will move to establish exclusive bus lanes on certain downtown streets as part of a four-point transit improvement program aimed al reducing air pollution and eliminating traffic congestion. "For example," Bond said, "it now takes a bus on Fifth Avenue as long to make the five- block trip from the courthouse to Stanwix Street during evening rush hours as it takes for the same bus to go from Oakland to Stanwix Street i more than four limes the distance) during off-peak hours."
