美国的大学和公共交通机构共同发明了一种名为“无限公交”的空中交通工具，为所有学生（在一些校园里，教职员工也是如此）提供免费的交通工具。Unlimited Access不是免费的交通，而是一种新的支付方式。大学为校园社区符合条件的成员乘坐的所有交通工具支付费用。本文评估了加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）的无限制访问计划的结果。在BruinGO推出的第一年，往返校园的公交车乘客增加了56%，独自驾车的乘客减少了20%。由于这些惊人的结果是在一个以沉迷于汽车而闻名的城市取得的，他们表明，Unlimited Access几乎可以在任何地方取得成功。
Universities and public transit agencies in the United States have together invented air arrangement-called Unlimited Access-that provides fare-free transit set-vice for all students (and, on some campuses, faculty and staff as well). Unlimited Access is not free transit but is instead,, a new way to pay for it. The university pays the transit agency for all rides taken by eligible members of the campus community. This article evaluates the results of the Unlimited Access program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Bus ridership for commuting to campus increased by 56 percent during BruinGO's first year, and solo driving fell by 20 pet-cent. Because these startling results were achieved in a city famous for its addiction to cars, they suggest that Unlimited Access can succeed almost anywhere.
