The Feasibility Assessment of Railway Public Transportation Systems in Sakarya

Abstract

Comprehensive sustainable development ensures the provision of economic, social and environmental sustainability as far as the transportation facilities are concerned. This development is also of importance as it has visible and measurable essence. The common feature of the objectives of sustainable development set out in the transportation sector is to enhance the life quality of the people living in the cities. Reliable, environmentally friendly and sustainable investments in the rail systems are supported in today`s cities in order to provide satisfactory public transportation services. This system consists of a main backbone of a rail system running on the main line with the integrating feeder wheeled systems. This paper investigates the evaluation of high-density public transport routes to suggest the feasible urban rail systems and their routes in the Sakarya Metropolitan Municipality.
