Implementation of Operational City Bus Systems in Order to Organize Public Transportation

Due to the substantial share of public transportation in urban travels, it is necessary to improve qualitative and quantitative aspects of public transportation. In quantitative perspective, it is important to improve characteristics such as infrastructure, number of fleets and coverage area. From a qualitative perspective, factors such as convenience, comfort and the quality of equipment have to be considered. In order to encourage citizens to use public transportation, it is necessary to improve the quantitative and qualitative aspects of bus transportation systems simultaneously. In this paper, the strategies of organizing urban bus transportation will be discussed and analyzed focusing on a framework based on Operational City Bus Systems. Also in this paper, the authors intend to elaborate and analyze required information and its role in designing urban transportation systems.
