“…Therefore, according to them, time intervals shall be chosen randomly in order to avoid a situation when travel time is calculated just after a particular means of transport has just left. The author of this article agrees with M. Stępniak's et al, (2019) opinion, still he thinks that using 9 profiles of time accessibility with 15 minute intervals allows to grasp time deviations quite accurately and properly. It can be confirmed by the study Fig.…”

“…Both the GIS technology and GTFS data have allowed to carry on detailed transport studies (Burdziej, 2016). The GTFS format has already been used by the author and other scholars to conduct comparative research on public transport systems in different European cities (Goch et al, 2018;Goliszek, 2017a;Goliszek, Połom, 2016b;Poelman, Dijkstra, 2015;Stępniak, Goliszek, 2017;Stępniak et al, 2019). The GTFS data published by the company managing urban transport in Szczecin allows to create models based on the timetables and road network (on the basis of Open Street Map).…”

The article presents issues related to public transport time accessibility to some selected services, including indoor swimming pools, cinemas, hospitals and shopping centres. In order to measure the above-mentioned accessibility the short distance method was used in the following time periods: 7:00-9:00 am for the hospitals; 5:00-7:00 pm for the shopping centres; 6:00-8:00 pm for the cinemas and 6:00-8:00 pm for the swimming pools. For each time period the measures were taken every 15 minutes. The main purpose of the article is to determine temporal accessibility for various purposes, the number of people living at a certain time distance and the diversity of accessibility by public transport. The public transport accessibility to the selected services indicates areas where the accessibility is limited. Time deviations in the operation of the public transport were calculated for all the selected time periods. The results of both measurements and calculations are presented in graphic form. Moreover, the graph includes the number of Szczecin citizens living in different time accessibility areas and in places with the highest time deviations.

“…A current trend among researchers is the pursuit of more complex approaches to measure accessibility (Geurs, Krizek, and Reggiani 2012), some focusing on time-sensitive components, i.e., variations in transit service (Boisjoly and El-Geneidy 2016;Conway, Byrd, and van der Linden 2017;Farber and Fu 2017;Stepniak et al 2019), while others aim to minimize errors that arise due to spatial aggregation (Apparicio et al 2017;Hewko, Smoyer-Tomic, and Hodgson 2002). However, the effectiveness of these resource-heavy approaches remains to be reviewed.…”

“…Conway, Byrd, and Linden (2017) and Conway, Byrd, and Eggermond (2018) for example address the problem of unfixed departure times for headway-based schedules, especially in the context of proposed development scenarios for transport planning. Others address themselves to the computational complexity of travel time estimation with Stepniak et al (2019) measuring the implications of alternate temporal sampling resolutions, finding that the increasingly standard method of estimating minutely departures (e.g. Farber and L. Fu, 2017) may be more than is required for many practical applications.…”

The study of accessibility - the ease of reaching destinations - by public transport has made huge advances thanks to the availability of standardized, routable transit schedule data.The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) has provided researchers with a vast trove of machine-readable data allowing for highly detailed spatio-temporal modelling of scheduled transit operations.Yet it is well established that in the real-world schedules are imperfect - vehicles often run late, get bunched, miss transfers, arrive too full for anyone to board, and otherwise behave in predictably unpredictable ways. Schedule data alone cannot possibly account for this distinctly stochastic component of much transit service, which to date has been considered separate from accessibility analysis under the umbrella of ``reliability''. This dissertation takes the perspective that transit service is reliably unreliable and will continue to be so until humans are taken out of the equation. Detailed observations of actual service can be used to construct more realistic models for estimating travel times and thus accessibility via transit.Chapter 2 introduces a novel method of converting a detailed GPS record of transit fleet locations into a retrospective GTFS package. This backward-looking "schedule'' format allows the same tools developed for schedule-based GTFS analysis to be applied in Chapter 3 to a more accurate depiction of actual transit accessibility. The findings indicate that models of transit accessibility based on schedule data alone tend to produce substantial overestimates of accessibility and systematic spatial errors by failing to account for normal irregularities in service provision. Chapter 4 points toward a way of better suiting available GTFS analysis tools to actual transit service by addressing the problem of imperfect information in modelled route choice. The travel time implications for a large minority of trips are shown to be substantial. Transit accessibility research has come a long way in the last decade and has a long way yet to go. Models based on schedule data alone should give way in many cases to models based on service as actually provided, acknowledging that schedules may guide but rarely constrain the transit services that passengers actually use every day.
