Towards the Best Public Transport in Suburban Areas on the Example from One Polish Agglomeration
Journal Title: Logistics and Transport - Year 2014, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to find the best public transport system suitable for suburban areas. Two measures of evaluation are developed, in sense of spatial and temporal accessibility. Three options of transport system are evaluated with the use of these measures, with consideration of different time horizons. The first option was the existing bus system. The second option concerns the modification and development of the bus system with the addition of rail transit. A futuristic "dial-a-ride" system is studied in the third option. The ranges of residences from past, present and future are shown for selected time horizons in relation to transportation network. The study concludes that only advanced "dial-a-ride" system can offer good conditions for people who choose public transport means compared to private car transport. The analyses were conducted for an exemplary village located within one Polish agglomeration. The conclusions could be adopted in other cities and countries due the similarity of urbanisation and transportation processes around the whole world.
