Transit agencies in North American are doing their best to provide a service that can compete with private vehicles. In doing so, many transit agencies are implementing multiple strategies to improve service, and are especially focusing on speed. Yet, in urban areas where congestion is a dominating factor causing delay to buses, transit agencies often suffer from increases in bus running time. One of the major contributors to running time is passenger activity time. This time can only be reduced through implementing innovative approaches to fare collection as well as changing traditional passenger activity. For example, transit agencies can implement smart card systems with the goal of reducing fare collection time, while reducing passenger activity time can be achieved through purchasing low floor buses, bus stop consolidations and by allowing all-door boarding at high demand stops. Yet, implementing all-door boarding requires agencies considering this strategy to carefully select the right routes or stops where such a policy would lead to substantial savings.

北美的过境机构正在尽最大努力提供可以与私人车辆竞争的服务。这样一来，许多过境机构正在实施多种策略来改善服务，并且尤其专注于速度。然而，在拥堵是导致公交车延迟的主要因素的城市地区，过境机构通常会遭受公共汽车运营时间的增加。运行时间的主要因素之一是乘客活动时间。只有通过实施创新的票价收集方法以及改变传统乘客活动，才能减少这次。例如，公交机构可以实施智能卡系统，以减少票价收集时间，同时可以通过购买低地板公交车，公交车站的合并并允许在高需求停止时减少乘客活动时间。但是，实施全门登机需要考虑此策略的机构，以仔细选择正确的路线或停止此类政策将带来大量节省的地方。
