Transit System Planning - Coggle Diagram
Transit System Planning
Mass transit planning is a process for
projecting future ridership developing the
transit network to serve the community
needs efficiently and economically.
The transit routs and terminals must
present an integrated structure for
increased mobility in the area served
The objectives may range from improving
existing service to development of new
system.
General
Steps involved in transit long
-range planning:
• Establish goals and objectives • Inventorying transit potential • Analyzing travel inclinations • Formulation and evaluation of alternative systems • Selecting an alternative for implementation
• Short
-range planning is usually undertaken to produce either immediate action
programs or transit development program.

System Performance
Evaluation
The performance measure of a transit
system is comprised of the system
capacity supplied, the quality of service
produced, comparison of costs versus
benefits, and environmental impact.
• Performance indicators
• Efficiency measurements
• Effectiveness measures

Performance indicators
Transit performance is
usually expressed in
term of productivity.
• Productivity relates
resource inputs such as
labor or capital to
product outputs of total
passengers, and
passenger-miles of
travel.
