Operational Data

This paper assesses the operational data of a public transportation system, using the Bus Rapid Transit in Lagos State as a case study. Demographic data was collected through the administration of questionnaires to the commuters; this was carried out to observe variations in the population of the commuters from different perspectives. Some other categories of data were collected which include boarding and alighting, headway, arrival rate of commuters, waiting time of commuters and travel time data. These data were presented and analysed with MS Excel and Minitab statistical softwares. Results from the boarding and alighting data showed bus stops with high flux of commuters, these were at Ojota, Ketu, Mile 12, Costain, CMS and TBS. Probability distribution charts were prepared to analyze the remaining sets of data. This was carried out to study the distribution and consistency of the data. Coefficients of variation for the data were also estimated to study the variability of the data. From the study, the data followed normal distribution and they were consistent such that they can be used for further analysis of the system. It can be concluded that the distribution depicts the real situation at the study location. Thus, bus stops with high density of commuters should be provided with more buses so as to reduce the waiting time of commuters.

Public Transportation System

<p>TransJakarta was a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Jakarta. It was designed to provide Jakarta<br />citizens with a fast public transportation system to help reduce rush hour traffic. After operating more than<br />one decade, many suggestions and critics were given related to service quality. IPA and PGCV methods were<br />applied to determine which service attributes should be improved and their priorities. In this research, eight<br />service attributes were identified as critical attributes (on first quadrant of IPA diagram). The higher value of<br />PGCV index indicated the priority level of attributes. Based on its priority level, the order were 1) easiness<br />of giving suggestions, 2) ticket queue, 3) easiness of complaints, 4) the facilities for passengers with special<br />needs, 5) employees appearance, 6) transportation cost, 7) accessibility, and 8) the number of bus.</p>

Kathmandu is Rapidly growing city where the Crisis due to centralization is foreseen in Transportation sector due to lack of proper Planning and Vision prior of establishing settlement. The Current status of Transportation system in Kathmandu is quite alarming in absence of well-organized Public Transportation system. The growth of Vehicles and simultaneously lack of improvements of existing facilities and traffic management have resulted in unorganized improvement of Traffic thereby increasing congestion, accidents and decrease in vehicle speed affecting road capacity. So using managed Scientific system to decrease jam causing parameters with most planned system and replacing the existing Systems by modern facilities, the problem can be reduced. Introduction of Bus rapid transit by gradual replacement of old transportation systems by providing a bus lane can be promising remedial measure to optimize public transportation system in Kathmandu valley

Object Of Study

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a atual conjuntura do transporte público coletivo nos principais municípios da Região Metropolitana do Cariri – CE. A pesquisa em foco caracteriza-se por ser um estudo de caso, cujo objeto de estudo é o Transporte Coletivo Urbano nas principais cidades da Região Metropolitana do Cariri - RMC. A pesquisa possui cunho qualitativo de natureza exploratória-descritiva e os principais procedimentos metodológicos utilizados foram a revisão bibliográfica e visitas de campo. Contatou-se que são muitos os problemas enfrentados pelos usuários do transporte coletivo nos municípios do estudo, como: a superlotação dos veículos; sucateamento dos veículos; descumprimento de horários; baixa oferta de linhas; e o tempo de espera pelos veículos. Percebe-se que há a necessidade de implantação nos municípios da RMC, de um sistema de transporte coletivo eficiente que atenda as necessidades da população no que diz respeito a conforto, segurança, rotas e minimização de impactos ambientais. AbstractThe objective of this work is to analyze the current situation of public transportation in major cities of metropolitan Cariri - EC. The research focus is characterized by being a case study, whose object of study is the Urban Public Transportation in the main cities of metropolitan Cariri - RMC. The research has a qualitative exploratory-descriptive and key methodological procedures used were literature review and field visits. It was noted that there are many problems faced by users of public transport in the cities of the study, such as overcrowding of vehicles, scrapping of vehicles; noncompliance schedules, low supply lines, and the waiting time for vehicles. It is noticed that there is a need for implementation in the municipalities of the MRC, an efficient public transportation system that meets the needs of the population with regard to comfort, safety, routes and minimizing environmental impacts. KeywordsTransportation.

On February 1, 2004, a 12.9-km (8-mi) bus rapid transit (BRT) line began revenue operation in Jakarta, Indonesia. The BRT line has incorporated most of the characteristics of BRT systems. The line was implemented in only 9 months at a cost of less than US$1 million/km ($1.6 million/mi). Two additional lines are scheduled to begin operation in 2005 and triple the size of the BRT. While design shortcomings for the road surface and terminals have impaired performance of the system, public reaction has been positive. Travel time over the whole corridor has been reduced by 59 min at peak hour. Average ridership is about 49,000/day at a flat fare of 30 cents. Furthermore, 20% of BRT riders have switched from private motorized modes, and private bus operators have been supportive of expanding Jakarta's BRT. Immediate improvements are needed in the areas of fiscal handling of revenues and reconfiguring of other bus routes. The TransJakarta BRT is reducing transport emissions for Jakarta and providing an alternative to congested streets. The BRT provides a tangible vision for an effective, viable, and sustainable public transportation system in Jakarta and elsewhere.

The paper presents the application of the Multiple Criteria Decision Aid/Making (MCDA/MCDM) methodology in the assessment of the development of different scenarios for an urban public transportation system (UPTS). This methodology allows considering several conflicting objectives and performing the evaluation process in a comprehensive manner. This approach also corresponds to the holistic philosophy: different aspects (economic, technical, social etc.) and interest groups – stakeholders (operators, passengers, city government etc.). The MCDA/MCDM methodology is specifically customized to the real life case study – urban public transportation system in the city of Cracow (Poland). A family of 10 criteria is proposed to evaluate several solutions (W) for a UPTS in terms of their usefulness and attractiveness for different stakeholders. These criteria take into account: travel time and standard, effectiveness of the fleet use, environment friendliness, the level of integration and reliability of the UPTS, safety and security, the profitability and availability of the UPTS, investment costs. Considering the possible solutions, the 6 alternatives were designed heuristically and compared with the current state (denotation of alternative W0). Based on the analysis, for the final considerations compared with the current alternative, 7 new solutions of the integrated urban public transportation in Cracow were adopted, denoted as: W1 (bus/rail alternative: integration of high-speed agglomeration rail with bus transportation), W2 (rail/tram/bus alternative: integration of high-speed agglomeration rail with tram and bus transport system), W3 (alternative with the underground: integration of the underground with high-speed agglomeration rail and with tram and bus transport system), W4 (tram/rail alternative: integration of high-speed agglomeration rail with tram transport), W5 (Tram alternative: integration of tram transport with bus transport), W5A (tram alternative: sub-alternative to the alternative W5, integration of tram transport), W6 (dual-mode tram alternative: integration of dual-mode tram transport). The variants of the scenarios for the urban public transportation system were generated by VISUM computer macro-simulation software. The computational experiment was carried out with the practical application of different Multiple Criteria Decision Aid/Making methods: AHP (Expert Choice program) and Electre III (software package Diviz).
