Description
Summary:Quantitative indicators can be utilized to evaluate transit performance. Provision of efficient and effective transit service is the goal used to develop performance indicators. Three efficiency, four effectiveness, and two overall indicators are analyzed for comparability utilizing operating and financial data collected from public transit agencies in California. Although several potential performance indicators were omitted from the study because of unavailability or unreliability of data, improved data might warrant the inclusion of these indicators in future research.
