Passenger Management and Travel Behaviour Along MRTS Corridor

Abstract

The rapid growth of urban population presents many changes in the travel pattern such as congestion and delay. The present transport system does not match with growing population as it was planned for the population a decade before and not revised for the latest input The person who is away from the transit stop i.e. even 0.5km away will not use the Public Transport and starts to use the own vehicle and it causes more congestion on road. A dedicated, convenient, fast, reliable, comfortable MRTS system exist, in the area the people along the corridor do not use the system. In this work an attempt is made to find out who, when, why and how the people along the MRTS corridor travel. This study also tries to investigate the travel characters of people along corridor. The possible management measures are suggested for the effective function of all modes and to reduce in congestion, delay and pollution in the city.
