Denpasar city is the center of government, trade, education, tourism and various services are indicators of changes in land use, density, movement, and high population, impact on economic improvement, social culture and transportation activities, especially traffic activity. Incriesed activities are followed by an increase in private vehicle usage, which causes transportation problems to become more complex. Therefore, transportation system planning especially in terms of transportation is an urgent thing to do. One of the important transportation systems planning to help solve the transportation problem is the planning of public transportation arrangement. Public transport routes in the Denpasar city have not spread evenly to serve the potential demand for public transportation, such as in the area of South Denpasar for example, there is no public transport routes that serve the community to conduct student activities, public transportation, so that necessary to study the potential demand of public transport, especially on Jalan Raya Sesetan corridor in South Denpasar. The service of reliable public transport is solution to create an effective, efficient and economical route in the utilization of road space and fuel consumption. The objective of providing public transportation which effective, efficient and economical will be achieved if the characteristics of users around the planned service corridor mainly concern the potential of public transport demand is known. Characteristics along the service corridor include the number of family members, the number of workers, the number of students, the number of potential trips, the number of vehicles owned, the monthly family income, the interest in the use of public transport. The result shown the average number of population in the service corridor is 21431 in which all villages have an average N value greater than the value of R (R = 20), thus fulfilling in public transport service, while the number of passengers is 17543 movements.

In the article the estimation of the interaction level between urban passenger transport and city train was made using the systems approach through application of modern methods of developing adequate easy-to-use mathematical models. Applying the systems approach, the transport node was considered as a comprehensive object, which is a single entity. It was identified that the transport node efficiency depends on the interaction level of the structure and its technology with the passenger traffic that requires designing a rational structure of the node and providing the technological interaction setting. The flow chart of determination the indicators of urban passenger transport modes’ operation was proposed in order to improve the passenger service quality by increasing the level of interaction of urban passenger transport modes with each other, also the system of efficient use of urban transport means was developed. The system of criteria for assessing the level of interaction between urban passenger transport and city train was implemented, which consists of criteria for the individual assessment of urban passenger transport and city train and criteria for their system interoperability, including consideration of the system quality from the passenger’s point of view.

The future of public transport in medium‐sized French cities without underground transport services is difficult to assess without a complete knowledge of the existing and potential demand. These cities are, however, experiencing considerable urban growth, giving rise to problems of urban congestion. This article examines the sensitivity of the demand for public transport from different population clusters against the level of service, posing the following questions. Are there more public transport users — and more public transport trips per user — when the service is better? Which kinds of improvement most affects demand? Is car ownership and use sensitive to the level of service? Empirical data and least‐squares modelling are used to answer these questions.

Urban public transport plays a critical role in stimulating economic development of any nation since most of the revenues come from cities. The majority of the city dwellers of any country use public transport. The evaluation of public transport service quality provides a valuable feedback to commuter operators to ensure continuous improvement of level of service and to the government to take appropriate measures for enhancing the quality of public transport service. This paper analyses and evaluates service quality of Road Public Transport (RPT) (i.e. minibuses and buses) and Urban Rail Transport (URT) in Dar es Salaam City, Tanzania. Since service quality and its attributes are intangible and vague, a fuzzy evaluation model is developed and applied. The formulated model is composed of Fuzzy Entropy Method (FEM) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The overall evaluation procedure is as follows: initially, an intensive literature search and experts’ opinions are employed to establish criteria for evaluating the service quality of public transport in Dar es Salaam City. The developed FEM is used to obtain criteria weight. Lastly, the formulated TOPSIS is used to provide an overall ranking of urban public transport service quality. The overall evaluation shows that urban rail transport outperforms road public transport in terms of service quality. Nevertheless, the urban rail transport service in Dar es Salaam City is currently not well developed as it is provided on very limited routes. Thus, the Tanzania government, the rail transport operator i.e. Tanzania Railway Limited (TRL) and the agency responsible for the provision of rail infrastructure i.e. Reli Assets Holding Company (RAHCO) are advised to design and employ Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) schemes i.e. concession contracts to invest more in rolling stocks, locomotives and rail wagons so that the rail transport service is available on many routes of the road public transport to bring fair competition between the two operators.

Study of commuters’ attitude towards public transport and their perception of existing service quality for different service attribute of public transport have gained immense importance for determining appropriate public transport service level. In this context, level of service (LOS) is identified as a vital tool to measure service quality, as per users’ perception, ranging from LOS A to LOS F which denotes ‘the best’ to ‘worst’ levels. However, the LOS existing benchmarks are defined as per the expert’s judgment. Method of ‘Successive Interval Scaling’ is used to develop LOS values for bus service as per users’ perception which converts ordered categorical scale into an interval scale. Service attributes are selected which are considered important for bus transit and LOS for each attribute is evaluated based on users’ opinion. The results obtained in this study for the city of Mumbai highlights the difference in LOS values between users’ perception and experts’ opinion given by Ministry of Urban Development in India (MoUD), India and the Transit Capacity & Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM).

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been heralded as one of the technologies that will fundamentally transform the industries. After years of hype, the adoption of RFID remains weak. This is due in part to the technology itself but also the economy and the overall strategy of the applications. In this research, the conditions in which RFID adoption is applicable are first synthesized. The merit of RFID is then further exploited for the public transportation applications. By employing RFID along with other communication technologies, public transportation vehicles can be identified and tracked during their services. With the ability to “calibrate” where exactly such vehicles are along their routes, the arrival time for the vehicles to the stops can be estimated more accurately. Passengers can then keep shorter lead time to meet the vehicle schedule; service providers may on the other hand provide the same level of passenger service with less frequent vehicle services.

The types of urban passenger transport are of the greatest importance for the life of the city, the role of which is a modern city is reduced to providing convenience and reducing the time spent on travel. The capacity of the bus stop point is an important part of the public transports system where the efficiency of the public buses depends on the high workability and the level of service at these points. The aim of this study is to form a group of public transports for urban passenger transport and factors influencing the capacity of bus stop points; in this study, the data was collected from different stop points in Chelyabinsk city, Russia. According to the Highway Capacity Manuals (HCM 2000), the capacity of buses, stops are calculated. The main principles of study were the dependencies of the number of passengers and types of public transport on the time of day for two directions of the movement. Varies from time of day with a frequency of about four hours, however, with a shift in the maximum passenger demand at stopping points because of the commercial and industrial establishments contained in the study site

Recently, the issue of determining actual values of passenger flow processed by urban public and suburban transport on each section of the route in real time has become even more relevant since those values affect planning, organisation of operations and performance of transport enterprises.It is not possible to assess the real volume of passenger flow with the number of tickets issued to passengers due to the large number of unaccounted passengers (the discrepancy between the number of tickets issued to passengers and the real number of passengers transported).The objective of the study which results are described in the article was to develop an intelligent system for calculating and analysing the transport enterprise performance, which allows automatically collecting, processing and analysing information about passenger flows, calculating the passenger rotation ratio on the route, drawing up optimal bus schedules and timetables, adjusting vehicle traffic intervals, determining the need for rolling stock to minimise the likelihood that a passenger is denied boarding, improving the quality of passenger service and reducing the operating costs of a transport enterprise.Real-time calculation of passenger flow values for each vehicle on the route of urban public transport is carried out by a quantitative method based on artificial neural network technology, which allows automatic processing of a large amount of information from CCTV cameras installed in vehicle interiors.The use of theoretical research methods helped to create an intelligent system capable to analyse and compare the number of tickets issued to passengers with the actual number of passengers transported on Samara city public transport route, the results were displayed through a graphical user interface. It was possible to reveal dependences of the number of unaccounted passengers on the route on the amount of passenger flow and the time of day.A possibility of using the proposed intelligent system in commuter trains was noted, provided that the cars are equipped with video surveillance cameras.
