| description | The objective of this study was to improve level of transit service of public transport bus routes in Baghdad city through
the implementation of some remedial actions. Eight public transport bus routes were selected to evaluate and improve
the Level of Transit Service (LOTS). These routes represent Al-Tahrir bus network (A) which was located in the center
of Baghdad city (capital of Iraq). The suggested remedial actions include reduction of legal bus stops delay (B), the
elimination of illegal bus stops delay (b), the elimination of signalized intersections delay (I), and the reduction of traffic
congestion delay (C). These suggested remedial actions are leaded to improve the values of total delay, bus travel time,
service frequency (headway), adjusted running speed, and capacity. The values of level of transit service for these transit
performance measures were improved. The overall routes level of transit service were improved for bus routes No. (72, 36,
13, 114, 11, 30, 37, and 9) from LOTS (D, E, E, E, E, D, E, and E) to LOTS (C, D, C, D, D, C, D, and D) respectively. The
overall network LOTS was improved from LOTS (E) to LOTS (D), indicating that the application of the suggested remedial
actions was effective and suitable to improve the performance and Level of Transit Service for public transport bus routes
in Baghdad city. Therefore, this study recommended to use the remedial actions which proposed by authors to improve level
of transit service for others bus networks. |
