Abstract

Transportation plays an important role in the economic, cultural, and social development of
any nation. At regional level mass transportation systems are generally provided by private or Government
sector. In Gujarat state, Bus transportation is provided by Gujarat state road transport corporation
(GSRTC). GSRTC have ST bus depot on each taluka head quarter. The depot manager fixes the route and
schedules of buses to connect the all possible villages. However, Due to rapid growth in population and
overall development, demand for travel increases in fast pace. This may not satisfied by existing bus fleet
available with depot. Proposed study is aimed to evaluate the existing bus services of GSRTC in Lunawada
taluka which is district head quarter Mahisagar District in Gujarat state. Most of the villages are connected
by ST bus services, some of the villages may having less frequency of buses of the existing demand. Here
