| Popis: | This work suggests possible recommendations that can make bus transport (BT) more attractive and thus enable shifting of potential users from private motor vehicles (PMVs) to BT in Delhi. The work is based on three studies conducted in Delhi. The first one determines major reasons for potential bus users not using BT for regular commute. The second study determines the impact of selected interventions in changing the behavior of potential users, while the third one determines the implementation feasibility of these interventions. The first and second studies are carried out amongst potential bus users of 17 organizations and the third amongst transportation experts. The findings of the first study reveal that the major concerns of potential users in decreasing order of importance are overcrowding of buses, longer travel times, non-availability of direct bus services, and lack of punctuality. The second study reveals that the impact of providing a confirmed seat to commuters in buses is the highest. Further, the cumulative impact of any two interventions is more than 0.3, i.e., more than 30% people are ready to shift to BT. |
