The Evaluation of Transport Exclusion in the Peripheral Cross-Border Areas of Central Europe in the Context of Applicability of Information-Based Carpooling

“…At the same time, in the context of the study, the profitability of the transport system should be understood as a situation where revenues from tickets and public subsidies allow the carrier to finance all running costs of the operation of the system, except for amortization (this is often the case with smaller private carriers, which, despite their low level of revenues, continue their transport activity). On the basis of an analysis of the available results of research on transport exclusion, the threshold value of this parameter (marked M) was set at 15 journeys per day for a particular locality [56][57][58][59]. These are findings referring to practical experience (observed in countries such as Switzerland, USA, or Australia), which is the result of using the available resources of academic knowledge.…”

THRESHOLDS in ACCESSIBILITY: IZMIR CENTRAL CITY CASE

“…The importance of the public transport system in the fair distribution of transport; demonstrated by these studies. In this context, Griffin and Şener (2016), Martinelli andMedellin (2007), Teunissen, Sarmiento, Zuidgeest andBrussel (2015), Nawagawong andTechapeeraparnich (2017), Cojanua, Dobreb andStupariuc (2012), Mortazavi and Akbarzadeh (2017) and Guzmana and Bocarejob (2017) were reviewed. The aim of this study is to draw attention to the issue of threshold accessibility values that can be used as a tool in spatial planning, planning of transportation systems or policy development in these areas and that have the effect of changing the location selection or transportation tendencies of the city users, and to analyze these values over the central city of Izmir.…”

Proposing Major BRT Routes for Rajshahi City Towards Increasing Public Transport Demand and Alleviation of Congestion Level to Achieve A Sustainable Urban Public Transport System

“…c) Bus operations: projected bus transit within the city, location of bus stops, reliability, operating speeds based on road width and condition. Towards a better and effective public transport route, the first and most important aspect is to design an efficient and effective route network [13]. So, the proposed route design for Rajshahi BRT is prepared bellow following some general guidelines.…”
