Standard model procedures were utilized produce strategic designed require relatively little data. comprised traffic (and land use) separate evaluation model. On average 62% gross benefits predicted Metros year time savings, these largely enjoyed former bus passengers. confirms that are not generally financially viable countires. conditions necessary bring economic viability project relate corridor city size, higher than per capita growth, growth prospects, efficient administration metro system, financial support fares. Finally, implications discussed. It is thought unlikely will projects which have less 10% 12% econmic rate return.
