3. Introduction to Urban Mass
Transportation System
 Urbanization + Transport = Urban Mass Transportation
 Cities (Urban Areas) play a vital role in promoting
economic growth and prosperity of a nation.
 The development of cities largely depends upon their physical,
social, and institutional infrastructure. Transport demand in most
Indian cities has increased substantially, due to increases in
population as a result of both natural increase and migrationfrom
rural areas and smaller towns.

5. Concept of Travel Demand
 Travel Demand refers to the amount and type of travel people
would choose under specific conditions,considering factors
such as the quality of transport options available and their
prices.
 Travel demand(transportation demand), simply stated, is the
demand for trips that exists in any area. All of these demand,
however, may or may not materialize into physical trips and
some of it generally remains latent and is referred to as hidden
demand.
 Transportation demand is concentrated at specific times that
are related to the current activity pattern of the society. The
demand is temporal as well as spatial.Transportation demand,
unlike the demand for other commodities, such as housing,
clothing, wheat, coffee, etc. is a derived demand.

6. Aspects in travel demand
Two major aspects in travel demand analysis are :
(i) Land use
(ii) Trip purpose
 Land use : It refers to pattern of land usage in an area. Land
use affects the transportation demand through generation and
distribution of trips.
 Trip purpose : It refers to purpose for which the trip is being
undertaken. A trip is a movement from origin to destination,
the distance between origin and destination is called trip
length. and the time taken is known as trip time.

7. Factors affecting travel demand
 Socio-economic factors
 Location factors
 Public transport accessibility factors

8. Socio-economic factors
Household income
Occupation status
Family size and composition of household
Cultural aspects
Number of cars per household

9. Location factors
Population
Residential density
Distance of household from town centre(CBD)

10. Public transport accessibility factors
Nearness of public transport facility
Efficiency and reliability of public transport
Fare structure, routing etc.
Factors affecting choice of travel mode :
 Purpose of the trip
 The distance traveled
 The income of the traveler
 Occupational status of the traveler

11. Sequential and simultaneous models
The trip making behaviour consists of four
discriptors :
1. Trip frequency
2. Destination
3. Mode
4. Route and other choice

13. Aggregate & Disaggregate approach
 Aggregate approach : This develops relationships between
trip production and attraction with appropriate independent
variable, at zone level, using regression analysis, zonal basis is
its principal advantage and it is simple.
 Disaggregate approach : This is based on development of
equations describing independent variable on the trip making as
a basic unit. For trip production analysis ‘Household’ usually
are considered as basic source of travel. Regression analysis or
category analysis are used for development of aggregate
models.

14. Urban mass transit system
It is based on two types and they are as
follows :-
1. Road based transit
2. Rail based transit

15. Road based transit
Buses and coach
City buses / commuter buses
BRTS

19. Rail based transit
Trains
Commuter rails & suburban rails
Metro trains
Mono rail
Light rail transit system(LRTS)
Sky rail

26. Advantages of mass transit system
 Environmental impacts
 Social impacts
 Fuel saving
 Economic impacts
 Freight impacts
 Reduces congestion
 Save time
 Cost effective
