Abstract
A geography of city terrain, based on bus routes,
supplies information about steepness that is vital to maintenance of
equipment. This article presents a technique to determine vertical
profiles of bus routes to evaluate topography and service demands in
terrain stress on vehicles.
In addition to JSTOR, there are five other providers of the full

Proquest. Interested readers can access the articles for free
from any of these six electronic providers. It's the libraries
that pay (royalties to the Geographical Review) to provide that service
for their readers.
