A factorial design would be appropriate for testing the effects of both the type of vehicle used and the fare reduction on passenger increases. This design would allow for the manipulation of two independent variables (vehicle type and fare reduction) and allow the researcher to examine their separate and combined effects on the dependent variable (passenger increases).
