Key Points

The research aims to analyze the financial implications of changing union work rules for split shifts and part-time drivers.
Conducted computer simulations to assess financial outcomes.
Evaluated different scenarios based on changes in work rules.
Focused on the impact on urban transit costs.
Identified potential cost savings by altering shift structures.
Revealed that flexible work rules could enhance operational efficiency.
Showed variations in costs depending on the use of part-time drivers.

Implication

Explores how changes in union work rules affect urban transit costs through computer simulations.

Abstract

Computer simulations are used in a study of the financial effects of possible changes in union work rules governing split shifts and the use of part-time drivers.
