Influence of public passenger transport reliability on users behavior

Abstract

Abstract – Unreliable functioning of public passenger transpport (PPT) system has direct influence on different aspects of passenger’s journey. Often disturbances in vehicle headway influence users in such manner that they plan their journeys accordingly (leave earlier, choose different line, transfer to another line, changes in mode of travel). This paper will analyse the influence of PPT system’s reliability on decisions and behaviour of PPT system’s users. Keywords – Public passenger transport, reliability, user’s behaviour, vehicle headway
