Claims, one by one

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-b6c6bc8736a06cb7 descriptive

peer-reviewed studies found only modest ridership gains

Published field: impact · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: The KTH natural-experiment evaluation finds the ridership effect of fare-free travel modest once changes in service supply are controlled for.
Caveat: One study of the early years; the registration and tax-revenue figures in this passage rest on separate press sources.

Known limits of this passport

Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
