It is important for both the bus owner and the
passengers to determine the bus and minibus routes that are frequently used in
urban passenger transport. Because the distance between the stops, the streets
where the vehicle passes, the distance to reach the bus stop of passengers, how
many minutes the bus will move, the waiting and transport time effects. Bus
routes surround the entire residential area of the city as a network in various
ways. The use of buses as a means of public transportation is preferred because
it requires fewer infrastructure investments. The distance between stops, the
population of settlements, the size/capacity of the bus and how many minutes
the bus will move, determines the waiting time of passengers at the stop and
duration of the tour. In this study, it is aimed to reduce bus operating costs
and waiting times of passengers. Bus stops between Isparta center and Süleyman
Demirel University West Campus, number and density of passengers, bus departure
times and bus capacities were analyzed and modeled in the simulation software.
As an alternative improvement scenario, buses with little and very passenger
capacity were used and departure times were arranged. The effect of alternative
scenarios on operating costs and waiting time was evaluated with the results
obtained from simulation software.
