In today's
world, the needs for transportation have increased and the existing solutions
have become insufficient in response to the demand especially with the increase
of urban life and the widespread urbanisation. For this reason, local authorities aim to
improve urban public transportation services, one of the effective in-city
transportation solutions, in order to solve the current needs of transport and
reduce or regulate the current traffic intensity.
In this study, geographical
information system (GIS) was used to analyse the relationship between the bus
routes and related stops being offered by Sakarya Metropolitan Municipality
(SBB) public transportation service along with the population living in the
region to evaluate the level of available current service to the population in
each region. An alternative optimisation for the locations of bus stops was
presented through a proposed model by comparing the results obtained from the
existing positions.
