An objective effectiveness evaluation of a multi-modal public transit network lays the foundation for reasonable policy recommendations. This paper presents a triple-level procedure for appraising a multi-modal public transit network's effectiveness. Route levels - considering economic, service, and environmental impact criteria - are evaluated by the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. A transit effectiveness index is proposed for a specific model (conventional bus, bus rapid transit, tram, and subway) level assessment. Then, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is designated for appraising a multi-modal public transit network at the system level. Finally, case research on a multi-modal public transit network was conducted to illustrate the evaluation procedure.
