Public Transportation System

urban traffic congestion will not only cause traffic problems, but also lead to environmental problems. Important method to ease urban congestion is to establish advanced public transportation system in cities. Currently, partaking rate of public transportation is insufficient in China, thus making it impossible for public transportation to play expected role. In order to solve the problem of partaking rate of public transportation in cities, efforts should be made to give full play to the government’s role, improve internal operation efficiency and guide urban residents to select public transportation for trips actively.

Public Transportation System

The ever-increasing traffic congestion echelons and the subsequent undesirable air quality in several metropolitan areas have raised the need for a successful public transportation system to ease the dependence on the private automobiles. Also the environmental economics is becoming more and more appealing taking into consideration different activities that have economic impact. One of such activities is public transportation. In the current scenario of globalization, public transportation services and systems need to perform introspective contemplation towards the quality of services offered (Michel, 2011). The research adopted a quantitative method of inquiry, therefore, a Survey Research Strategy was considered in order to provide a quantitative or numeric description of trends, attitudes, or opinions of a population by studying a sample of that population. It includes cross-sectional and longitudinal studies using questionnaires or structured interviews for data collection, with the intent of generalizing from a sample to a population (Babbie, 2010). In this context, this research study anticipated to critically evaluate the customers’ perception of the public transportation system and its impacts on service delivery: a case study of Busan Metropolitan City, Korea Republic. This paper is divided into five major sections. Keywords: environmental economics, public transportation system, customer perceptions, managerial perspective, customers.

City design plays a major role in the way of life of its inhabitants. The growth of urban centers requires careful schemes to ascertain that the quality of life is not adversely influenced. The rate of motorization is increasing in Hyderabad, Pakistan due to inaccessible public transportation. An efficient public transportation system performs a critical part in sustaining and improving urban welfare by providing access to daily necessities. The basic aim of this study is to discuss the impacts of inaccessible public transportation on urban population, the environmental effect of recent urban transport designs, and the expansion in traffic congestion. Landsat images were used to highlight the existing public transportation routes and dynamic and more realistic travel distances and times were measured. Data were collected from local households and further frequency analysis was done through SPSS. The outcome of this research may assist the evolution of a sustainable and accessible transportation system for the urban population.

Bus Transport

The current public transportation in India is found to have higher traffic congestion levels within the bus and is an inefficient transport system for the public. The traffic and the over congested public transports we see on the roads is an effect of this problem. Increasing the public transportation is not the only solution, to make it better we also need to make it smarter. Though there are many other proposals for smart transportation we have come up with a unique way of approaching it. The aim is to provide smartness to the existing transportation system so that it becomes efficient and user-friendly for the public. The public need not depend on the paper tickets anymore and instead can have an smart RF ID with themselves which is not a big issue since its just credit card sized. One big advantage with this system is that public who are waiting to board can know the number of passengers in the vehicle and can decide whether to board or not beforehand. By this way the higher authorities can also see if there is a scarcity in any particular route and can immediately send more vehicles in the particular route. Using this technique, the congestion of the vehicles can be reduced and it will be easier for the public to make use of the public transportation system.

Public Transportation System

This article describes how the public traffic system evaluation is an important measure to strengthen the management of urban transportation. Many scholars have evaluated the public transportation system, but lack research on different index weights of it. In past models, although the fuzzy assessment method was integrated into an evaluation methodology, its randomness was reflected unclearly. To solve the problems, a fuzzy evaluation of a cloud model is researched. Firstly, the corresponding weights of all indexes are calculated by analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and a clustering method. Then, the principal component of the indexes is extracted by the principal component analysis. According to the distribution of a principal component and processed with the cloud model, a subordinate degree function was established. Finally, scoring cities by combining the principal component weight and membership cloud matrix and evaluating the public transportation system. Comparing the matter-element analysis and the AHP gray model method, this proposed model in this article can evaluate the performance of different urban traffic systems more practically.
