This paper analyses the effect of supporting the public transport policy based on intersection controlling with the aim of tram priority in Budapest, as a case study. The hypothesis related to this study was that the support of public transport is only viable when the marginal benefit of public transport is higher than the marginal cost of individual transport. Therefore, the real costs of this support for the society were estimated. This study revealed that by applying this policy, the waiting time at intersections and CO2 emission-related costs have increased by about 13.7% and 14.2%, respectively. Besides, the estimated monetary gain of tram users would be 17,800 euro on a daily level total by applying the mentioned policy.

The paper addresses the issue of assessing the condition of the public transport stops infrastructure in urban areas. A set of eight criteria was used for the assessment. The first six criteria assess the occurrence of certain infrastructure elements categorized as: basic equipment; additional equipment; passenger information system; equipment increasing accessibility for people with disabilities; as well as equipment increasing security and safety. The other two criteria reflect the subjective assessment of the degree of destruction and visual quality of the stop. The method was used to assess 68 stops located in Poznań’s district Łazarz.

This paper studies how the price affects the demand for public transport in the peak- and off-peak period in the public transport in Stockholm. Further, the study investigates how differences in price elasticities of demand in the peak- and off-peak period can enable an increase in revenues as well as the total number of passengers while dampening the peak-load problem through price discrimination. The data is set up to examine the effect of the price on the number of passengers travelling by subway from January 1999 to December 2008. A number of control variables are used to isolate the effect of a price change in our econometric model. Thereafter, the elasticities of demand for each period are calculated in order to find Ramsey prices that can be used when a monopoly firm maximizes profit and minimizes the welfare loss. The study concludes that the price elasticities of demand differ between the peak- and the off-peak period and that SL should charge a higher price in the peak-period and a lower price in the off-peak period to both increase their revenue, the total number of passengers, and reduce their problems associated with the peak-load demand.

The major western cities of China are beginning to suffer the growing traffic congestion problems, which eastern cities of China has experienced. Learn lessons from eastern cities on traffic issues as soon as possible, dealing with the diversified modes of public transportation problem of convergence effectively, providing condition for integration development of urban public transport in the west is the main goal in this paper. This paper takes Subway transit Line 6 in Chongqing as a bus connection example. On the basis of passenger volume forecast, integrated public transport optimization theory and method are used to study Chongqing subway transit Line 6 along the feeder site optimization program , it can provide the theoretical foundation and technical support for the public transport network optimization of Chongqing.

Abstract. The global economic development facilitates the process of urbanization, during which more private cars are used, resulting in traffic jams and also more air pollution. It is important to provide an energy-saving public transport means in order to relieve pressure on road transport, reduce emission, and even to offer a new alternative of transport to non-local tourists in their traveling, and public bicycles are such a choice. This article investigates into the public bicycle system in Hangzhou, an extension of the existing public transport, analyzes current utilization of public bicycles, problems we have already encountered, well as suggestions and countermeasures for further improvement, in the hope of providing a good example to other cities in the world in their public transport development
