摘要

使用公共交通是大城市中许多人日常生活的重要组成部分,需要耗费大量的时间和财力。加强公共交通有助于鼓励减少私人机动车的使用,从而减少温室气体的排放。因此,有必要改善公共交通,使其比私人机动车更具吸引力。本研究旨在评估乘客对伊斯坦布尔公共巴士使用相关几个方面的意见,最终目的是使公共巴士比私人机动车更具吸引力。共有 620 名随机抽取的公交乘客回答了为此专门准备的调查问卷。调查发现,乘客对公共汽车大多数方面的满意度都很高。然而,非参数检验结果显示,女性乘客对公共巴士许多方面的满意度明显低于男性乘客。结果还显示,有相当一部分乘客要走很远的路才能到达最近的巴士站,或者要等很长时间才能等到下一班巴士。此外,结果显示,年龄较大和收入水平较高的乘客的满意度明显高于其他乘客。结果还显示,大多数乘客支持提高高峰时段的巴士费用,以尽量减少高峰时段的拥挤程度。最后讨论了这些结果对特大城市决策者在鼓励使用公共汽车方面的启示。

Commuters opinion on public transport services in mega cities: the case of Istanbul buses
Using public transport is an important part of daily routine of many people in large cities and consumes considerable time and financial resources. Enhancing public transport can help in encouraging less use of privately owned motor vehicles and, therefore, in emitting less greenhouse gases. Hence, there is a need to improve public transport and make it more attractive than private motor vehicles. This study aims to assess commuters opinion on several aspects related to using public buses in Istanbul with the ultimate aim of making them more attractive than private motor vehicles. A total of 620 randomly selected bus commuters responded to a questionnaire specially prepared for this purpose. Satisfaction rates with most aspects related to public buses were found to be high. Nevertheless, non-parametric test results revealed that female commuters recorded significantly lower satisfaction rates than male commuters on many aspects related to public buses. Results also revealed that a significant minority of commuters walk for long distances to the nearest bus stop or wait for very long times for the next bus to come. Moreover, results revealed that commuters of older ages and higher income levels recorded significant higher satisfaction rates than others. Results also show that the majority of commuters support increasing bus fees during peak hours in order to minimize crowdedness during these hours. Implications of these results for decision makers in megacities on ways to encourage the use of public buses are discussed at the end.
