Place of Informal Transportation in Public Transport

Yıl 2023, Cilt: 7 Sayı: 2, 32 - 39, 30.06.2023

Öz

Informal transportation has become an important topic in recent years. It plays a critical role in transportation due to filling gaps for unmet transport demands. At this point, there is a need for collaboration with public authorities. In this study, the dynamics of informal transportation are defined as policy, demand, culture, and technology. In addition, SWOT analysis is conducted regarding literature studies and experiences. According to the SWOT analysis, flexibility, agility, and complement are seen as strengths, and lack of institutionalization and lack of integration with public transportation is seen as the main weaknesses. From the external perspective, when collaboration can be seen as the main opportunity, lack of regulation and monitoring can be seen as obstacles to improving service quality for informal transport. This study will be a guide to find out improvement plans for a stronger relationship between formal and informal institutions regarding dynamics and SWOT analysis.
