Change in residential density was used to approximate change in local demand for transit service.
“Change in residential density (count of residential units per hectare) was used to approximate change in local demand for transit service (Stewart et al., 2017).”
From Does improving stop amenities help increase Bus Rapid Transit ridership? Findings based on a quasi-experiment (2021) · cites this paper as Stewart et al., 2017
The Methods section says the study used changes in the count of residential units within ¼ mile of transit stops to control for nearby development. The Discussion links increased residential density with increased demand for transit service. The paper does not describe the measure as residential units per hectare, so the cited claim's specified unit is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPrior research suggested that ridership increased overall in the E and F lines relative to the previously existing traditional bus service along these routes.
“Prior research has suggested that ridership increased overall in the E and F lines relative to the previously existing traditional bus service along these routes (Stewart et al., 2017).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
