This paper provides an interim report on a novel research effort aimed at developing improved data and models for demand prediction for very large transit systems. We explore the nature and use of automated fare collection (AFC) system data which has great potential for characterizing and forecasting transit use, but it requires a considerable effort to make it useful. The material discussed is motivated by work that we are performing in New York City, but the research should be transferable to many other large systems.Although there are a variety of theories and mathematical models for transit route choice, little is known about traveler behavior in large transit systems that are characterized by many alternatives for the same trip. One reason is that there has been greater emphasis on mode choice than on route choice for transit users. Another reason is that there is little empirical information available. Onboard surveys can be difficult in large systems and often may be limited in the scope of data obtained making inferences about
