A Hierarchical Model to Evaluate Public Transport’s Supply Quality

Abstract

There are several elements of supply quality in public transportation. These
elements are often referred, but only some of them are mentioned at a time,
and regularly some confusion can be discovered in this topic. In order to get a clear and complex image, we constructed a hierarchical model to elaborate all elements of a public transport system. This model has been tested on a Japanese city’s bus transport system. The gained results are introduced shortly in the paper.
