ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF CHANGES IN TRANSIT SYSTEMS USING INTERVENTION ANALYSIS

Intervention analysis has been used to assess the effectiveness of a transit system change in Chattanooga (Tenn., USA). Goal of the change was to improve the effectiveness of the transit system.

Intervention analysis showed that three of these measures had been improved by the transit system change.
