CAPITAL BUDGETING OF MASS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS IN LARGE CITIES OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

A general systems approach for the economic analysis and evaluation of mass transportation systems is outlined. In this approach, the case of a large city in a developing country, with several mass transportation corridors and alternatives is considered. A deterministic, single objective planning model developed by MIT in the USA for highway projects is reviewed, adjusted and extended to fit the case of multiple objective mass transit systems in developing countries.
