Abstract
Buses of General Company for Passenger Transport was the primary
mode for public transportation in Baghdad City. This system suffers from
many problems, part of which were related to bus routes, while the other
part was related to the bus and its operators. These problems have a direct
effect on the users of public transport buses. The objective of this study
was to assess the performance of eight public transport bus routes which
they represented by the Al-Tahrir bus network and adopting the level of
the transit service method. Seven transit performance measures were
selected in this study, such as bus travel time, hours of service during the
day, service frequency (headway), total delay on the route, running speed
of the bus, bus occupancy, and capacity of the route. The results of this
study showed that bus routes No. (72, 36, 13, 114, 11, 30, 37, and 9) were
operating at overall Level of Transit Service LOTS (D, E, E, E, E, D, E, and
E) respectively, whereas the bus network (Al-Tahrir bus network) was
operating at overall LOTS (E); therefore, the performance of Al-Tahrir
bus network was not acceptable, and improvements were needed to
increase the level of transit service of this network.
