Latterly, a superior utilization of public
transport can be a remedy to mitigate the traffic especially in big cities, thereby,
to environmental, economic and public health problems. However, the alternatives
for reclamation are myriad and in spite of this consensus of necessity, reclamation
decisions are often censured by the public. Predominantly, a significant
difference can be detected between planners’ and passengers’ notion about
amelioration matter. The aim of this paper is to enumerate public demand for
public bus transport improvement, by analyzing public bus transport supply
quality criteria between planners and public in Mersin City, Turkey. As a
methodology, a combined Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Spearman
correlation technique have been applied in order to illuminate the chasms
between planners and public.
