DEFINATION

 Public transit planning is the process of designing public transportation


systems, including networks, timetables, and policies. It's a combination of
urban planning and transportation engineering.
Goals of public transit planning : -
 Provide a good supply of public transportation
 Minimize effort for the operator Address challenges like overcrowding and
missed connections
 Make public transit more attractive and convenient
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

 Network design: How to design the network of routes and lines


 Timetables: How to develop schedules for buses and trains
 Fleet planning: How to plan for the number and types of vehicles needed
 Cost-benefit analysis: How to balance costs and benefits
 Crowding analysis: How to analyze how crowded buses and trains are
 Pricing: How to set fares and ticket prices
 Connectivity: How to connect public transit with other modes
of transportation
ADVANTAGES OF PUBLIC TRANSIT PLANNING

 Public transit planning offers several advantages including reduced traffic


congestion, improved environmental sustainability by lowering emissions,
increased accessibility for diverse populations, economic benefits through
job creation and local business stimulation, and a potential for improved
quality of life by providing convenient mobility options for residents,
particularly those without personal vehicles.
TYPES OF PUBLIC TRANSIT PLANNING

 Public transit service planning A comprehensive tool that aims to provide a


good supply of public transit while reducing effort for operatorsHelps
operators address challenges like overcrowded buses
 Transit-oriented development (TOD) A type of urban development that
clusters jobs, housing, and services around public transit hubsTOD is
compact, mixed-use, and pedestrian and cycle friendly
 Creating resilient transportation systems Aims to avoid potential losses and
obstructions to the movement of people and goodsAlso aims to avoid
permanent damage to infrastructure
