Planning new public transport line based on accessibility criteria

Abstract

The changing role of public transport in Polish cities and contemporary urbanisation processes can be recognized as the most important reasons for the rapid development of bus and tram networks in last years. It seems that a key factor which could attract new passengers is the improvement in the level of accessibility. Therefore, the main aim of this article is to present a methodology based on the accessibility measures, which could help in the planning of the public transport networks in urban areas. Świerczewo district in the southern part of Poznań was adopted as an research area. Conducted analyses showed that the proposed method could help in the selection of an optimal bus line and stops location. The conclusion is that such an objective approach should be taken into account when the decisions on the future of public transport networks will be made.
