| Research Abstract |
In this study, a new operation scheme which contributes to the reconstruction of the public transportation system is proposed, and verified through small scale public transportation projects which are operating at present.
While constructing and operating the scheme, new findings of the new public transport development were obtained by comparing the users data with conventional public transportation. Especially, regarding the vicious circle that reduction of users leads to decrease of convenience, and further reducing the users, empirical analyses are provided to show that vicious circle can be reversed to a virtuous circle, where the convenience of public transport was increased together with increased users. Specifically, case studies of the Kyoto Rakunan Express Bus and the Asahimachi Bus are presented to illustrate the virtuous circle of public transportation with route and timetable design, service scheme construction, and data collection before and after the bus operation.
