Abstract
Public transport is considered important to reduce air pollution. For this reason, it is very important to have efficient public transport lines. The purpose is to analyze 15 public transport lines in Albania by using the DEA model. The analysis is based on information about citizens' perceptions of five attributes (frequency, cleanliness, possibility to find a seat, punctuality, and ticket price) of public transport lines. The information is provided by conducting a survey of 120 users of public transport lines. The results indicate that it's important to improve some attributes to increase the use of public transport.
期刊介绍:
WSEAS Transactions on Environment and Development publishes original research papers relating to the studying of environmental sciences. We aim to bring important work to a wide international audience and therefore only publish papers of exceptional scientific value that advance our understanding of these particular areas. The research presented must transcend the limits of case studies, while both experimental and theoretical studies are accepted. It is a multi-disciplinary journal and therefore its content mirrors the diverse interests and approaches of scholars involved with sustainable development, climate change, natural hazards, renewable energy systems and related areas. We also welcome scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
