In a transportation planning system, what outcome occurs when cyclical voter preferences violate transitivity?

💡 Explanation

When voter preferences form a cycle (e.g., A > B > C > A), the Condorcet criterion is violated because there's no alternative that beats all others in pairwise comparisons; therefore, no Condorcet winner can be determined, rather than achieving optimality or resource equity, which are independent considerations.
