This book will give you a solid foundation in analysis methods and public transportation system design, along with ideas for incorporating unquantifiable social costs and benefits and measures of sustainability into your analysis.The analysis methods presented have sufficient depth to help you draw meaningful conclusions, yet require only a hand calculator or spreadsheet program. You'll learn how to use simple mathematical models and how to interpret more complex models.Case studies demonstrate how goals are weighted, how objectives are measured, and the significant omissions that can occur in analyses in the real world. A glossary clarifies key terms.
