Predicting The Impact Of Demand and Supply Side Measure On Bus Ridership in Putrajaya, Malaysia.

My friend already discuss about the transportation issues in Penang and highlight concerns such as the environmental impact of road traffic, with emphasis on vehicular traffic-generated noise and air pollution. Now i would like to discuss about Predicting The Impact Of Demand and Supply Side Measure On Bus Ridership in Putrajaya, Malaysia. How the impact to the Bus Ridership?

The Putrajaya, is a famous city from a transport policy perspective because of its explicit goal to achieve a 70 percent share of public transport to its core precincts. A study was recently commissioned with the aim of quantifying travelers’ responses to policy measures to ensure effective strategy formulation. The existing public transport system lacks choice, quality, and availability. The intracity bus company operates only 14 buses to transport passengers from residential areas in the periphery to offices and commercial centers in the core area.
Generally, these buses have poor service frequency with an average of 2 per hour,even during the morning and afternoon peak periods. Econometric estimation results show that improvement in public transport alone is incapable of inducing sufficient modal shift to achieve the goal of a 70:30 split between public and private transport. To ensure effective strategy formulation, a study was commissioned to model users’ travel behaviors with the goal of quantifying their response to a proposal for public transport improvements and demand-restraining measures.

After all the method had use, the results from the stated preference survey and the subsequent mode-split modeling and simulations suggest one major policy conclusion. Improvement in public transport
alone appears to be incapable of inducing sufficient mode shift in favor of public
transport to achieve the overriding objective of 70:30 split. So, If you want to read more about this article can go to the website below.
Thanks.. that for all.
