...crisis is yet to come. Despite the cutbacks, municipal authorities face an unremitting increase in costs, many of them outside their power to control. This year Boston will be forced to ante up $25 million to pay its share of the operating deficit of the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority-a responsibility that state law requires the city to shoulder although it has no hand on the throttle governing the M.B.T.A.'s expenses. Increasingly militant municipal employees are demanding huge pay hikes in New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other cities-and some are threatening strikes or job slowdowns if they...

To save suburbanites the trouble of traveling into the city to catch a bus, Greyhound built satellite terminals near mass transit systems on the edges of Chicago and Cleveland-an idea that it plans to extend to other cities. As a lure for passengers from abroad, Greyhound sells a $99 foreign-tour ticket that allows non-Americans to travel anywhere on the system for up to 30 days. Meanwhile, the line...
