- Abstract:
- Conventional public transport was the most fundamental mode of public transport in small and mediumsized cities. Public transport investigation was helpful to understand the current situation of public transport in small and mediumsized cities so as to find out the existing problems and put forward relevant suggestions and opinions, and lay the foundation for the planning and design of urban rail transit in the future.From the point of view of planner and designers, the current situation of public transport passenger volume, line facilities, station facilities, public transport characteristics and carfollowing investigation of public transport were taken as indicators to evaluate the present situation of public transport operation in small and mediumsized cities. The first four could be obtained directly from the public transport company; the last one such as line section volume, full load rate and average speed should be carried out on the carfollowing investigation of public transport in the city.The results show that the present public transport operation in Longyan city has some problems, such as high full load rate in the peak period, unbalanced public transport route and so on, and then the corresponding suggestions for the development of urban public transport are put forward: like adjusting the partial routes, increasing bus and parking spaces, adjusting the interval of departure during peak period and controlling the number of light motorcycles in the city.Based on the investigation data of Pingdingshan, Yichang and Xiangyang, comparative analysis of public transport travel sharing rate in Longyan city shows that the proposed public transport research indexes and methods are in line with the requirements of relevant design institutes, which has practical value of popularization. The proposed suggestions accord with the needs of the development of public transport in small and mediumsized cities.
