This paper analyzes factors explaining supply and demand of local public transportation. Together with variables related to traditional economic factors and mobility, we consider variables reflecting institutional characteristics and geographical patterns. Being a political capital increases supply and demand of local public transportation, inequality is associated with higher supply, and contr...

We have constructed a framework for analyzing passenger behaviors in public transportation systems as understanding these variables is a key to improving the efficiency of public transportation. It uses a large-scale dataset of trip records created from smart card data to estimate passenger flows in a complex metro network. Its interactive flow visualization function enables various unusual phe...

pay attention to the public transportation, cycling and pedestrian oriented development (pod) and car-free streets can increase the quality of urban spaces and create more secure pedestrians with psychological comfort for human. old urban fabric with hidden physical, historical, and cultural values has been the best evidence of urban identity and meanwhile, the life and growth of this fabric ha...

Public transport service provision is viewed as an important component of the overall transportation planning and management process. Research examining public transportation performance and how it may be enhanced is much needed. This paper addresses strategic aspects of service access. Public transport in Brisbane, Australia is evaluated using a commercial geographical information system integ...

We illustrate through example 1 and 2 that the condition at theorem 1 in [8] dissatisfies necessity, and the converse proposition of fact 1.1 in [8] does not hold, namely the condition Z / M – L / Ak < 1 / (2 Ak ) is not sufficient for f (i) + f (j) = f (k). Illuminate through an analysis and ex.3 that there is a logic error during deduction of fact 1.2, which causes each of fact 1.2, 1.3, 4 to...

BACKGROUND An established relationship exists between public transportation (PT) use and physical activity. However, there is limited literature that examines the link between PT use and active commuting (AC) behavior. This study examines this link to determine if PT users commute more by active modes. METHODS A volunteer, convenience sample of adults (n = 748) completed an online survey abou...
