A study of some factors affecting bus service performance
Trrl Lr 767 Various measures aimed at improving the operation of a bus service have been examined using the results of TRRL surveys ans simulation modelling. Service 9 of the Bristol Omnibus Company was chosen as a basis for the study. The main findings were: (1) In the evening peak period improved time-keeping could reduce the mean passenger waiting time by 5 per cent. (2) reducing bus-boar…
Evaluation by simulation of control strategies for a high frequency bus service
In order to assess the potential value of bus control a computer simulation of a high frequancy urban bus service has been used to estimate the likely effects of applying a number of control strategies formulated for use when the positions of buses on the route were known. Four strategies were considered; The first three regulised bus depatures from termini by making adjustments to bus layover …
Peak public transport: an area study
A study of the supply of and demand for peak public transport services in an area centred on the large free-standing town of Northampton is reported. Two publicly-owned bus companies supplied virtually all the stage services within the area while, by contrast, 24 privately-owened bus and coach companies supplied the vast majoroty of the numerous contract services to schools and workplaces. In t…
The economics of contract bus services
An analysis is made of the prices charged by privately owned bus and coach companies for works and school contract services in a particular area. A regression equation is obtained which relates the contract price to the type of contract (works or school), vehicle size and distance run. This equation is used to compute the fare required for a work contract service to break-even at varying loads …
The Northampton taxi study
A study of the role of taxis in the large provincial town of Northampton is reported. For a period of a week in mid-1979 the drivers of 40 taxis (about three-quarters of the total number operating in the town) helped to carry out a survey which provided information on the number, age and sex of users and the timing, purpose, means of booking, origin and destination of their journeys. Details re…
