Abstract

The public transport system is essential for any community to develop socio-economic growth. Performance indicators are the indication tools that determine where the defects are. As a result, the greater Amman municipality GAM has addressed this issue by launching a new transport system called the “Amman Bus Rapid Transit” BRT system that serves the public. Therefore, this paper investigates the sustainability performance indicators with respect to the economic, environmental, and social dimensions that measure the Amman BRT system. The literature review was the first tool used to generate indicators followed by commencing semi-structured interviews with five experts in the field. The findings indicated that there are 13 indicators that can be used to measure the sustainability performance of the Amman BRT system. Moreover, the results showed that the overall indicators are significant, but the most important one is affordability within the economic dimension. The current study recommended extending the methodology to use different multi-criteria decision-making techniques.

衡量公共交通系统的可持续发展表现

公共交通系统对任何社区的社会经济发展都至关重要。性能指示器是确定缺陷在哪里的指示工具。因此，大安曼市GAM通过推出一种名为“安曼快速公交”BRT系统的新交通系统来解决这个问题，该系统为公众服务。因此，本文研究了衡量安曼快速公交系统的经济、环境和社会维度的可持续性绩效指标。文献综述是用于生成指标的第一个工具，随后开始与该领域的五位专家进行半结构化访谈。结果表明，有13个指标可用于衡量安曼快速公交系统的可持续性绩效。此外，结果表明，总体指标是显著的，但最重要的是经济维度内的负担能力。目前的研究建议扩展该方法，以使用不同的多标准决策技术。
