COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS AND LONDON'S TRANSPORT POLICIES

This study selects and examines certain policy changes in order to provide insights into the significance of social cost benefit analysis in justifying alternative levels of output to be achieved by the London Transport Executive. The results are presented of four types of case study: 1, A global evaluation of fare and service changes in buses and underground, viewing these activities as a whole; 2, Separate closure of three underground stations; 3, Change of service levels in two underground lines (Jubilee and Victoria); and 4, Substantial change in service provided by certain bus routes, selected for their variability in results.
