Abstract

Good connectivity and accessibility ensure inclusivity of public transport system which is an indicator of a fair society. The modal shift of commuters towards public transit services depends majorly on its accessibility levels. To ensure that commuters have equal opportunities to access jobs, education, and other services, PTAL (public transit accessibility level) is often evaluated. Public transport accessibility levels are a detailed and an accurate measure of accessibility of a point to the public transport network which considers walk access time and service availability. Public transportation is often referred to as an affordable model for every section of society due to its cheap fare price. The major question lies in the inclusivity of public transit services for the economically weaker section of society whether or not public transportation is available and accessible for those who need it or those who cannot afford other mobility services. The present study intends to focus on affordable and inclusive transportation for economically weaker sections. The study is an attempt to assess the issues with public transport services in the city of Bhopal, India for economically backward areas like slums. The research will help in understanding the accessibility level of currently available public transit services by evaluating the PTAL (public transit accessibility level) for socially backward.
博帕尔贫民窟公共交通可达性水平评估
良好的连通性和可达性确保了公共交通系统的包容性,这是公平社会的一个指标。通勤者向公共交通服务的方式转变主要取决于其可达性水平。为了确保通勤者有平等的机会获得工作、教育和其他服务,PTAL(公共交通可达性水平)经常被评估。公共交通可达性水平是一个详细而准确的衡量一个点到公共交通网络的可达性,它考虑了步行时间和服务的可用性。由于票价便宜,公共交通通常被认为是社会各阶层都负担得起的交通模式。主要问题在于公共交通服务对社会经济较弱部分的包容性,无论公共交通是否可供那些需要它的人使用,还是那些负担不起其他流动服务的人使用。目前的研究旨在为经济较弱的地区提供负担得起的包容性交通。这项研究试图评估印度博帕尔市贫民窟等经济落后地区的公共交通服务问题。本研究通过对社会落后地区的公共交通可达性水平进行评价,有助于了解现有公共交通服务的可达性水平。
