statistical methods and a geographic information system (GIS) program, the
study found that the average price of land near the train remained low, while
the middle and far distant land prices experienced a gradual rise. The study also
examined the rate of urban growth in the study area, demonstrating that the
lands near the train were characterized by a high rate of growth, while the
middle and far distant lands from the train line demonstrated a low level of
urban growth. Further research should explore the economic effect of the train
