Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has left scars on the Indian public transportation system. In order to regain its original momentum, policymakers will need to assess the barriers hindering the effectiveness of the public transportation sector. In this regard, this article analyzes the various factors affecting the public transportation sector in India and determines their interrelationships. The research is presented in three steps. First, we review the literature to identify the factors that affect the public transportation system in India. Next, we propose an integrated model of grey-DEMATEL and ANP, grey-DANP, to calculate the priority ranking and weight of the factors. The grey-DEMATEL method is used to find the interrelationships among the factors, while ANP determines the local and global weights of the factors to form a priority order. Then, we present the interrelationships in the form of influential relation maps. Furthermore, we provide a sensitivity analysis to enhance the credibility of our study. The paper reveals that governmental regulations are the most influential factors in India's public transportation system. The transportation authorities and policymakers must also focus on improving the financial stability and enhancing the customer's trust in the public transportation system. The framework provided in this paper can be applied to other countries where similar hindrances in the public transportation system have been caused by COVID-19.

印度的公共交通系统：COVID-19 的影响。

COVID-19 大流行给印度公共交通系统留下了伤痕。为了恢复其原有的发展势头，政策制定者需要评估阻碍公共交通部门发挥效力的障碍。为此，本文分析了影响印度公共交通行业的各种因素，并确定了它们之间的相互关系。研究分三步进行。首先，我们回顾文献，找出影响印度公共交通系统的因素。其次，我们提出了灰色-DEMATEL 和 ANP 的综合模型，即灰色-DANP，用于计算各因素的优先排序和权重。灰色-DEMATEL 方法用于找出各因素之间的相互关系，而 ANP 则确定各因素的局部和全局权重，从而形成优先顺序。然后，我们以影响关系图的形式展示了相互关系。此外，我们还进行了敏感性分析，以提高研究的可信度。本文揭示了政府法规是对印度公共交通系统影响最大的因素。交通管理部门和政策制定者还必须重视提高财务稳定性，增强客户对公共交通系统的信任。本文所提供的框架可适用于其他国家，因为 COVID-19 也会对这些国家的公共交通系统造成类似的阻碍。
