AIDS FOR THE PLANNING OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT

HJAELPMEDEL FOER PLANERING AV KOLLEKTIVTRAFIK

The travelling public wants a higher standard, i.e. shorter walking distances, waiting and journey times, few changes, comfort on buses and at stops, and low fares. Bus companies want to do their job as economically as possible, while local and national authories which subsidise unprofitable services must consider quality in relation to cost. While assessment of conditions must be done by man, evaluation of alternatives must be done by computer since, for instance, the number of stop combinations increases with the square of the bus network. An analysis must evaluate travelling standard, traffic loading, productivity and costs. Models for the analysis of public transport are available. /TRRL/
