Abstract
Extensive time series transport and land use data for Montreal are available for 1970, 1974 and 1978. A log-linear model was used to model household structure over time in order to isolate the effects of household structure on transit ridership from other effects which included new subway lines. The data were also used to test the performance of the log-linear model in forecasting household structure for future time periods. The changes in transit ridership in Montreal from 1970 to 1978 were due both to changes in household structure and to changes in transit trip making because of improved levels of transit service. The log-linear formulation was very useful in decoupling these effects.
