THE MANAGEMENT PLAN OF THE SOCIETE NATIONALE DES CHEMINS DE FER VICINAUX

As a major public transit operator in Belgium with both streetcar and bus services, major management goals are controlling operating expenses and increasing revenues. Studies identified the factors which influence the various expense items and the criteria for providing attractive service. Factors studied included the physical and operating characteristics of the routes, the vehicle speeds, the operating speed, frequency of service, waiting times, capacity and performance of vehicles, level of occupancy, power consumption, utilization of vehicles and other equipment, and characteristics of each maintenance operation. Computer applications for the various management areas are explained.
