Transport is an important part of India's economy but it is of low and inadequate standards as compared with international standards. Due to economic liberalization, infrastructure development has progressed rapidly; today there are variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. However, India's relatively low GDP per capita has meant that access to transport has not been uniform.
The main problem is that the land mass is limited hence the roads cannot exceed certain basic capacity (veh/hr). hence the public must be encourage to make a model shift from private vehicles to mass public transportation vehicles.
Public transportation service is an attractive and helpful alternative to those who uses private …show more content…
Research is necessary to solve operating problems, to adapt appropriate new technologies from other industries. Bus route evaluation standards include the criteria which measure the quality and quantity of service offered by system by bus routes. This synthesis compiles current activity and assesses the state of the art of evaluating individual bus routes and is adapted for the same.
Some important key-features and benefits for the need of public transportation system in Developing country like India are as follows:
• Public transportation enhances personal opportunities and development.
• Public transportation provides personal mobility and freedom for people from every walk of life.
• Access to public transportation gives people transportation options.
• Public transportation provides access to job opportunities for many people
• Public transportation saves fuel, reduces traffic congestion.
• Public transportation provides economic opportunities and leads to overall development of …show more content…
1. The first objective is to determine the effects of uncertainty, in out-of-vehicle times during transfers, on transit users’ willingness to use transfer routes.
2. The second objective is to determine the influence of out-of-vehicle facilities, offered by public- transport (PT) operators, on transit users’ perception of trip attributes related to transfers.
A user preference survey was conducted at two major PT terminals in Auckland, New Zealand. The survey data was modeled using cumulative prospect theory and fuzzy logic.
The results showed that for all trip attributes, except for comfort, transit users’ exhibited risk adverse behavior; users’ revealed greater preference for the transfer route with less uncertainty in the out-of-vehicle times. For comfort, transit users’ displayed risk-taking characteristics when the waiting time for a seat was less than 5 min. Such findings suggest that increasing the consistency in out-of-vehicle times will increase attractiveness of transfer routes thus enabling a more efficient and integrated network of PT routes to result in enlargement of
