“…Successful urban bus transit systems will increase the demand for public transportation, and enhance city life by reducing the number of people who drive alone. Many urban dwellers attribute traffic jams and pollution, to the frequency with which people utilize their personal cars to get to town [32]. On public transportation networks, it is possible to accommodate high levels of demand for timeand distance-based travel.…”

The public transportation system is critical in meeting the demands of the rapidly growing population and increased mobility. Thus, providing and improving public services has become an urgent need in recent years. This study aims to evaluate the level of Baghdad's public transport system using a variety of criteria, including public transport availability, and comfort level. Service level is a method used to develop transport infrastructure labels based on a specific analysis. The importance of evaluating road operational performance services to improve bus service delivery is based on the concept of service level. The relatively high performance of bus service delivery can affect the level of satisfaction of its users. The availability of public transportation is analyzed in terms of frequency, service coverage, and hours. This study assesses the level of service for five specific major bus routes in Baghdad (4, 12, 45, 61, and 113). Survey processes were used to collect data. The results indicate that all lines according to service hours were at the level of service "E". While the service frequency is within the service levels "A", "B", and "C", and transit-auto travel time is within the service levels Class "B", and "C". This study contributes to being a useful guide for developing a comprehensive plan for the level of service and improving the quality of bus service.

“…The objective function includes a maximum reduction in operating costs under the appropriate level of public transport services [15]. Furthermore, the objective of several studies has been to maximize social welfare, that is, consumer surplus plus government revenue minus the operating costs of the public transport companies [30,31].…”

“…Some academics have found that the walking distance (d w ) of residents around a BRT line to stations determines the probability of choosing BRT, from which the coverage coefficient of bus stops is obtained [31]. Some studies show that residents within 300 meters of a bus station have a higher probability of taking the bus and are more stable, while the probability of taking the bus more than 300 meters gradually decreases [24,27,35,36].…”

A Bi-Level Programming Model for Optimal Bus Stop Spacing of a Bus Rapid Transit System

The purpose of this study is to create a bi-level programming model for the optimal bus stop spacing of a bus rapid transit (BRT) system, to ensure simultaneous coordination and consider the interests of bus companies and passengers. The top-level model attempts to optimize and determine optimal bus stop spacing to minimize the equivalent costs, including wait, in-vehicle, walk, and operator costs, while the bottom-level model reveals the relation between the locations of stops and spatial service coverage to attract an increasing number of passengers. A case study of Chengdu, by making use of a genetic algorithm, is presented to highlight the validity and practicability of the proposed model and analyze the sensitivity of the coverage coefficient, headway, and speed with different spacing between bus stops.
