Abstract

Public bus transport system is that phase of transportation engineering which deals with the planning,
geometric design, facility and traffic operations of road , streets, highways, their networks, terminals, abutting lands,
and relationships with other modes of transportation. Public bus transport services are generally based on regular
operation of transit buses along a route calling at agreed bus stops according to a published public transport
timetable. In this study various types of data carried out like, population data, boarding and alighting survey,
household survey, public opinion survey, etc. Travel speed, travel time, load factor is also calculated in this boarding
and alighting survey. Population forecasting is carried out by arithmetic increment method. From the collected data
the highest average load factor is on route between station to vadtal, the highest average travel speed is on route
between station to bandhani chokdi, the lowest travel time is on route between station to bakrol.
