| Abstract | This study attempted to evaluate -the efficiencies of the
express bus operations in Taipei. In order to make the fruitful
comparison, ordinary buses which operate on the simultaneous routes
were also selected. Three pairs of bus routes were selected as the
study routes. These three pairs were express bus routes no. 212,
292 and their corresponding ordinary services no. 212 and 292 as
well as an express Chunghsiao ·route and ordinary bus route no. 504.
Information pertaining to bus operations and services such as the
bus headways, frequencies, travel time, travel speeds and layover
time were collected and analyzed in this study.
Results revealed inconsistencies of mean headways on bus
routes 212 and 292 on both bus services. Severe bus bunching
problems were noticed on all three selected bus routes during
survey periods. Discrepancies on the bus layover time were found at
both terminals of the three study routes. The travel time observed
during the surveys were found to be inconsistent among the three
bus routes. With 95% confidence interval, obvious differences on
travel time were also found between express and ordinary services,
except for Chunghsiao express route and its counterpart, -ordinary
bus route no. 504.
Results of passenger's attitude survey revealed that express
services was only a mere different from ordinary services. This was
evident from the passenger ' s opinion that the acceptance of bus
services were almost the same between express and ordinary bus.
Furthermore, the public opinions toward the fare structures of the
two bus services were reasonable and affordable since both services
have the same fare structure. |
