The problem of limited interest in public transportation due to the restricted coverage of bus rapid transit (BRT) services can be addressed by enhancing door-to-door options. Providing feeder services to assist users in their journeys from start to finish is crucial to achieving this. One suggested feeder option is bicycles because they are faster than walking and eco-friendly. However, in Yogyakarta, there is currently no integration of bike lanes with BRT lanes, making it difficult to promote multimodal transportation. In addition to planning routes, it is important to consider the characteristics of BRT users when implementing multimodal transportation. This helps determine the BRT user category, enabling customized and prioritized service delivery. This study explores the factors that encourage users to use bicycles as feeders and offers insights into users’ preferences for cycling facilities. Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to 200 BRT users selected randomly over 30 days. Based on the model tested using multiple regression analysis, the most popular and confident travel destination for BRT users is their workplace. Moreover, BRT users prefer bicycle lanes that are separate and distinct from other vehicle lanes and convenient bicycle parking locations near bus stops. This research provides valuable recommendations for all stakeholders, particularly the government, to enhance and sustainably improve public transportation services.

Evaluation of Bus Rapid Transportation (BRT) based on service quality criteria and customer satisfaction can never be overemphasized due to its derivative, such as optimizing the performance of the transportation industry. Thus, this study employs the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method for the evaluation of service quality and customer satisfaction of the BRT system in Nigeria using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) and visekriterijumska optimizacija i kompromisno resenje (VIKOR), which are components of multi-criteria optimization and compromise solution to evaluate notable factors responsible for the user’s perspective. Research design is quantitative and analytical in nature through a survey of experts who are users of BRT services. Samples were drawn through a multi-stage sampling procedure and a total of 402 copies of questionnaires were administered to BRT users based on their experience with the system. Hence, VIKOR and FAHP methods are applied to analyse data retrieved from the field on services quality and performance level. The service quality (SERVQUAL) model (a multi-dimensional research instrument designed to capture consumer expectations and perceptions of service) was modified thereby generating six dimensions and thirty-six service criteria for this research. The FAHP method was employed to determine the weights of the decision criteria because there is a need to measure commuters’ perceptions and expectations based on numerical linguistic variables due to the vague, imprecise and complexity related to the nature of services. The criteria weights and responses of the survey analysis (data) related with the BRT are input for the VIKOR method for ranking. As measuring the perception of service quality based on crispy value can often be misleading, hence, the use of the fuzzy MCDM method can give a more realistic measurement. The result of the multi-criteria decision analysis revealed that pricing quality is the most relevant service quality dimension to users’ satisfaction, followed by the empathy quality dimension. The summary of strength and weakness areas of service quality discovered through the research and its managerial implications with recommendations were related to the appropriate authority in charge of the BRT system for improved performance.

The present study aimed to assess passenger satisfaction with bus transit services based on passengers’ socio-demographic characteristics, given the service quality. An ordinal logistic regression analysis was conducted to relate passengers’ sociodemographic characteristics to their satisfaction with public bus services. The sociodemographic characteristics studied were age, gender, marital status, occupation, income, housing type, family size, and motor vehicle ownership. Data were collected by administering an onboard survey to public bus passengers. In total, 580 completed a questionnaire asking about their socio-demographic characteristics and their satisfaction with bus transit services. The study reveals that significant differences exist in the levels of passengers’ satisfaction depending on their socio-demographic characteristics. Greater satisfaction was significantly associated with being married, unemployed, and young. The delivery of public bus services needs to consider different segments of passengers.

Geoelectrical resistivity technology (GRT) constrained by geological information was used to map the hydrokinetic properties, as well as the protectivity and potentiality of groundwater system in a medium-sized and sort after housing estate in Southern Nigeria. The GRT deployed involved Schlumberger 1-D vertical electrical resistivity sounding (VES) and 2-D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). The primary and secondary geoelectric indices were used in tandem with existing geological information to estimate the hydrodynamic parameter maps of the shallowest aquifer unit, maximally exploited in the area for optimal management of the unconfined aquifer system beneath. Total porosity (0.282–0.691), specific yield (0.040–0.107), field capacity/specific retention (0.242–0.623) and storage-dependent drainability efficiency (SDE) (7.6– 40.5%) were determined to depict the saturation dynamics in the study area. Results showed that the area has optimal release of pore water when the storage-dependent drainability efficiency is greater than 21%. The ensemble of potential index parameters such as transmissivity (57.4–4339.2 m2 /day), transverse resistance/aquifer potential scale (453.6–152,756.5 Ωm2), permeability (91.7–7269.7 mD) and hydraulic conductivity (57.4–4339.2 m/day) showed optimal potentiality but poor to moderate protectivity as evidenced by longitudinal conductance index (0.004–0.6218 Siemens). As many individuals have strong affinities to live in this fast, newly developed and competitive housing estate, it is a healthy practice that efficiently managed waste disposal arrangements/measures be put in place in order to ward of the exposure of leachates and other organic/inorganic wastes from permeating/draining into the already naturally vulnerable underlying hydrogeological units, where groundwater extracted for diverse use is stored.

Systemy BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) od 40 lat cieszą się rosnącą popularnością, szczególnie w młodych miastach Ameryki Południowej i Azji. Pojemne, często dwuprzegubowe pojazdy poruszają się wygrodzonymi pasami autobusowymi i obsługują pasażerów na przystankach wyposażonych w bramki. Dzięki szybkiej wymianie pasażerów i bezwzględnemu priorytetowi przejazdu uzyskuje się prędkości handlowe rzędu 27 km/h. BRT może stanowić podstawę transportu miejskiego i pełnić funkcję urbanizacyjną, podobnie jak metro (brazylijska Kurytyba) lub być komplementarnym dodatkiem do sieci kolei miejskiej (australijskie Brisbane). W Polsce wprowadzenie systemu rozważają Warszawa i Kraków. W polskich realiach szczególnie dobrze uwarunkowane do obsługi przez metrobusy są osiedla blokowe. Wprowadzenie systemu powinny rozważyć miasta powyżej 150 tysięcy mieszkańców, nieposiadające linii tramwajowych. Dla zachowania efektywności metrobusu kluczowe jest trzymanie się jego fundamentalnych założeń i nie uleganie kompromisom.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems have been increasingly popular for 40 years, especially in young cities of South America and Asia. Capacious, usually double-articulated buses use separated bus lanes. Due to fast boarding, off-board fare collection and signal priority it is possible to achieve commercial speed at the level of 25 kmph. BRT might provide a basis of municipal transportation like a subway (e.g. Curitiba, Brazil) or a complementary addition to the existing rail network (e.g. Brisbane, Australia). In Poland cities of Cracow and Warsaw are considering implementing this system. The best conditions to implement the system are provided in modernist block estates. In Polish reality BRT would be a good solution for cities over 150 000 inhabitants which does not have tram network. Maintaining the fundamental BRT principles and avoiding compromises is crucial in order to provide the efficiency of transit system.

Głównym celem artykułu jest przybliżenie koncepcji BRT (ang. Bus Rapid Transit) i próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy tego typu rozwiązania mogą zostać w najbliższej przyszłości zastosowane w polskich miastach. Podjęcie tego tematu wynika z rosnącego zainteresowania dużych ośrodków budową nowoczesnych sieci transportowych, które jednocześnie nie pochłoną znacznych środków finansowych. W pierwszej części artykułu szczegółowo przedstawiono obecne w literaturze definicje BRT, a także przybliżono różne podtypy tych systemów. Wiele miejsca poświęcono również opisaniu elementów charakterystycznych dla BRT. Końcowy fragment stanowi analiza możliwości i zasadności wprowadzania tego typu rozwiązań w polskich miastach. Artykuł nie daje jednak jednoznacznej odpowiedzi i sugeruje konieczność szczegółowej analizy konkretnych przypadków. Obok zalet systemów BRT ukazuje również szereg wad tego środka transportu, a także zwraca uwagę na niebezpieczeństwa związane z możliwością stosowania rozwiązań pośrednich i budowy „pseudo-systemów BRT”.

The main objective of the article is to present the concept of the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) and to answer the question: can such solutions be used in the near future in Polish cities? We could see the growing interest of this concept in the urban areas which authorities are looking for new, both cheap and modern transport solutions. In the first part of the article the definition of the BRT was presented and different types of systems were described. Characteristics of the BRT systems have been carefully presented. Final part of the article refers to the possibility of implementing a new public transport system in Polish cities. Many factors and conditions make the answer difficult to obtain so that each case study has to be analyzed and considered separately. Beside advantages, a lot of weaknesses have been indicated. At the end the risk of creating pseudo BRT systems has been highlighted.
