      <title>IMPROVED MANAGEMENT AND TRAINING IN PUBLIC TRANSIT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/293610</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper describes an interactive system that can be used by transit managers to improve service and productivity. The system performs policy evaluations based on service changes, ridership, and service cost effectiveness. It also takes into account factors external to the transit agency, such as regional development and employment trends. This management tool allows managers to consider policy options using "what if" experiments in "question-answer" sessions.]]></description>
