Although these particular concepts would need to be <br /> more thoroughly analyzed for potential ridership, fare revenue, and other changes that have occurred <br /> since they were developed, they are intended to serve as a rough estimate of the amount of funding <br /> that would be required to implement measurable new service. The Transit Director has estimated the <br /> cost implementing these seven different service concepts in the table below. The total cost is <br /> approximately$444,000. <br /> Route/Service Estimated Estimated Total Estimated Total Annual <br /> Service Hours Annual Days Estimated Operating Cost <br /> Service Hours FY2018 Dollars <br /> Expand Route 420 service to a total 3 250 750 $ 50,670 <br /> of 12 service hours <br /> Expand U.S.70 midday service to <br /> Durham and provide hourly 5 250 1,250 $ 84,450 <br /> headways <br /> Hillsborough Circulator early 3 250 750 $ 50,670 <br /> morning/evening service <br /> Hillsborough Circulator Weekend 6 52 312 $ 21,079 <br /> Service(Saturday) <br /> Expansion of Route 420 Peak 4 250 1,000 $ 67,560 <br /> Service to Cedar Grove <br />
