<p>Conforme dados da Pesquisa Domiciliar de Origem e Destino de 2012, referente à Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte (RMBH), este artigo busca avaliar a eficiência dos deslocamentos do transporte público por ônibus em Belo Horizonte, com base na proposição e análise do Índice de Eficiência do Transporte Público (IETP). Trata-se de um indicador que avalia a eficiência do transporte, tendo como base os parâmetros de distância, tempo e velocidade das viagens realizadas. Os resultados indicaram que há menores médias de velocidade dos fluxos de origem na área central e pericentral do município, regiões que apresentam uma grande concentração de atividades de comércio e serviços. Nas unidades espaciais localizadas nos extremos norte e sul de Belo Horizonte, provavelmente em função da presença dos principais corredores viários de acesso, dois deles dotados de pistas exclusivas para ônibus no período de realização da Pesquisa OD, observam-se viagens que envolvem não somente distâncias, mas também velocidades um pouco mais elevadas comparativamente às demais regiões da cidade. Tais vetores apresentaram ainda uma maior participação do modo ônibus, provavelmente em função de abrigarem os estratos populacionais mais carentes do município, os quais são mais dependentes dos transportes públicos em relação às faixas mais abastadas. Os resultados obtidos e a metodologia de análise propostos nesse trabalho representam uma contribuição à proposição e ao debate e ao planejamento e gestão do espaço, incluindo a elaboração de políticas de mobilidade urbana.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave</strong>: transportes públicos; acessibilidade; mobilidade; eficiência.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>In accordance with data from the 2012 Household Origin Destination Survey for the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte (MRBH), this article seeks to evaluate the efficiency of the public transportation displacements by bus in Belo Horizonte, based on the proposal and analysis of the Public Transport Efficiency index (PTEI). This is an indicator that assesses the efficiency of transport, based on the parameters of distance, time and speed of the journeys made. The results indicate that in the central area and the pericentral municipal regions there are lower average speeds of destination flows. These areas have a large concentration of trade and services activities. In the spatial units located in the extreme north and south of Belo Horizonte, probably due to the presence of the main road corridors, two of them with exclusive bus lanes in the period when the OD Survey was conducted, the findings indicated journeys that involve not only distances, but also slightly higher speeds compared to other regions of the city. These vectors also exhibited a greater share of the bus mode, probably as they cover the poorest population strata of the city, which are more dependent on public transport in relation to the more affluent groups. The results and the proposed analytical methodology of this study represent a contribution to the proposition, debate and the planning and management of space, including the development of urban mobility policies.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: public transportation; accessibility; mobility; efficiency</p>

The increasing number of private vehicles shows that the public transportation system in Makassar has not been maximized. this is also due to the absence of other alternative public transportation modes that can be used by the community in their activities. This study aims to determine the preference of public modes of choice if offered other alternatives, especially public transport with greater capacity. Public transportation offered in this study is busway and monorail. In this study the community was faced with 3 modes of choice namely city transportation, monorail, and busway. The data collection method used was a survey with stated preference based questionnaires, which reviewed nine conditions for variable change in travel speed. The construction of the model was carried out using STATA software and city transportation was used as the base outcome. The model is based on discrete selection models and is analyzed by the multinomial logit model. The results showed that in the nine conditions of change in travel speed, the mode of city transportation was still more dominantly chosen by the community.

Background Several countries adopted lockdown to slowdown the exponential transmission of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic. Disease transmission models and the epidemic forecasts at the national level steer the policy to implement appropriate intervention strategies and budgeting. However, it is critical to design a data-driven reliable model for nowcasting for smaller populations, in particular metro cities. Objective The aim of this study is to analyze the transition of the epidemic from subexponential to exponential transmission in the Chennai metro zone and to analyze the probability of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) secondary infections while availing the public transport systems in the city. Methods A single geographical zone “Chennai-Metro-Merge” was constructed by combining Chennai District with three bordering districts. Subexponential and exponential models were developed to analyze and predict the progression of the COVID-19 epidemic. Probabilistic models were applied to assess the probability of secondary infections while availing public transport after the release of the lockdown. Results The model predicted that transition from subexponential to exponential transmission occurs around the eighth week after the reporting of a cluster of cases. The probability of secondary infections with a single index case in an enclosure of the city bus, the suburban train general coach, and the ladies coach was found to be 0.192, 0.074, and 0.114, respectively. Conclusions Nowcasting at the early stage of the epidemic predicts the probable time point of the exponential transmission and alerts the public health system. After the lockdown release, public transportation will be the major source of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in metro cities, and appropriate strategies based on nowcasting are needed.

Public transportation is one of the sustainable form of transportation which provides mobility options for the people. The public transport services are very basic need of people’s lives, especially in developing world. It is the basic means for mobility of a large percent of people and hence it is the driving force of economic and social life. Quality of service, characterized by the Level-of-Service (LoS) is one of the major factors determining the demand for public transport. This study tries to determine the city-wide Level-of-Service provided by the public transport system using the service level benchmarks as a case study of Trivandrum city. The indicators for determining the Level-of-Service used in the study are presence of organized public transport system, availability or extend of public transport supply, service coverage, average waiting time, level of comfort in public transport and the fleet availability. This approach can be used to determine the LoS at the city-level and thus provides a measure for identifying the public transport quality of an urban area.

Public Transport Service

Public transport service has been promoted to reduce the problems of traffic congestion and environmental impacts due to car dependency. Several public transportation modes are available in Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR) such as buses, heavy rails, vans, boats, taxis, and trains while in some areas have fewer modes of public transport available. The disparity of public transport service negatively impacts social equity. This study aims to identify the gaps between public transport supply and demand and to demonstrate introduced indicators to assess the public transport performance incorporating transport capacity and equilibrium access aspects. Supply index was used to evaluate the level of service, and the demand index was applied to estimate travel needs. Furthermore, the Lorenz curves and the Gini coefficients were used to measure the equity of public transport. The results highlight that more than half of the BMR population is living in low-supply high-demand areas for public transportation. Moreover, the equitable access analysis has identified that the high-income population has better access to public transport than the low-income population. The results suggest that public transport gaps and equity indicate the inclusiveness of public transportation, as well as to the areas where to improve the public transport service. Thus, the methodology used in this study can be applied to another city or region similar to BMR.
