Statement of PT Problems (Con’t.)
c) Examples of PT Problems
• overcrowding in public transport vehicles/lack of
passenger space
• lack of driver discipline
• lack of public transport vehicles…long waiting time
• low travel speed
• unreasonable fares
• safety risks
• unserved areas
• destructive competition
• colorum operation
• others

Setting Up of Objectives
Desired qualities: A PT network that --
will best serve the demand in terms of coverage and level of supply
economically viable to society and financially viable to operators
environmentally sustainable
socially acceptable
compatible with the overall transport system
More Specifically
accessible > reasonable access time to PT node
reliable > reasonable waiting time at stops and terminal
> adherence to schedule (for scheduled trips)
reasonable travel speed
sufficient passenger space in vehicles
viable load factor
acceptable air pollution level
reasonable fare structure
minimum accident rates
security for passengers

Analysis of Existing PT Situation
Involves data collection activities to determine current
PT system performance
PT passenger demand pattern
Traffic-related information
Passenger-related information
Current PT System Performance

PT operating characteristics: PT surveys needed
PT terminals inventory
Current PT Demand Pattern
Passenger origin-destination (OD)
Volume of ridership per route
Boarding and alighting volumes
Passenger load profile

Estimating PT Level of Supply per Route
Given PV for a route, to determine the number of units required to serve
the demand uses the following relationship:
NU = PV
ASC x VLF x NRTi
