Abstract

The cities expansion and urban population growth and the need to meet mobility place more demands on use of automobile that increased and brought forward traffic congestion in urban areas. This in turn caused many environmental challenges such as noise and air pollutions. Because of this, urban authorities introduced public transportation as a key option towards balanced system of urban transportation. Expansion dispersed the city of Yazd and Development of new towns in the west, south, and north of the city, it is experiencing high volume of daily trips and commuting between these new towns and downtown Yazd. Bus plays a major role in Yazd transit since all major routes are served by bus-based modes of transportation. A descriptive and analytic approach was applied to evaluate the efficiency of lines numbers 11, 55 and 62 that contained high volume of daily trips. The evaluation is based on the TCRP100 Report particularly three criteria of TRANSIT ACCESSIBILITY and comfort and convenience. For TRANSIT ACCESSIBILITY, three parameters were considered including frequency of services, area of service coverage, hours of services. For comfort and convenience of bus system, total travel time of bus and private vehicle was compared. These criteria can measure bus transit performance and quality of services. The findings show that the time of travel by bus is twice of private vehicles. For this reason, citizens usually prefer to use private cars in spite of bus within the study area.
