Abstract
Disaggregate choice models estimated with a 1977 data base are used to evaluate the economic feasibility of several alternatives for extending the Santiago underground system. More sophisticated models developed with a 1981 data base for a particular urban corridor in the city are compared with models calibrated for a similar situation in England. Finally, the models estimated in 1981 are used to predict the impact of an increase in Metro fares that was actually implemented in 1982 and a comparison is made with the actual impact observed.
