Passenger flow estimation of transit systems is essential for new decisions about additional facilities and feeder lines. For increasing the efficiency of an existing transit line, stations which are insufficient for trip production and attraction should be examined first. Such investigation supports decisions for feeder line projects which may seem necessary or futile according to the findings. In this study, passenger flow of a light rail transit (LRT) system in Izmir, Turkey is estimated by using multiple regression and feed-forward back-propagation type of artificial neural networks (ANN). The number of alighting passengers at each station is estimated as a function of boarding passengers from other stations. It is found that ANN approach produced significantly better estimations specifically for the low passenger attractive stations. In addition, ANN is found to be more capable for the determination of trip-attractive parts of LRT lines.   Keywords: light rail transit, multiple regression, artificial neural networks, public transportation

The research of a general methodology to predict the pump performance in a reverse mode, knowing those of a pump in a direct mode, is a question that is still open. The scientific research is making many efforts toward answering this question, but at present, there is still not much clarity. This consideration has been the starting point of this research that thanks to artificial neural networks and evolutionary polynomial regression methods have tried to investigate and define the real weight of every input parameter, representing the efficiency of a pump in a direct way, on the output parameters, and representing efficiency of a pump used like a turbine.
