Abstract An international cross-section of light-rail transit systems is examined. Demand is tested as a function of transport system, city, and population attributes. All tests confirm the standard hypotheses at high levels of significance. High levels of explanatory power support the notion of model transferability. The models developed in this paper are used to predict demand for new LRT systems now being installed in North American cities. Model outputs suggest that the official forecasts are very optimistic.
