In its 56th year of publication, the APTA Public Transportation Fact Book is considered the "Bible" of the mass transit industry. It provides an historical overview of public transportation in the US, national statistics on transit ridership, finance and operation of the industry, plus extensive definitions and photographs. Extensive data for bus, ferryboat, light rail, subway, commuter rail, and demand response are provided for the major individual transit agencies, in addition to national totals.
