Using Potential Accessibility Measure for Urban Public Transportation Planning: A Case Study of Denizli, Turkey
Policy makers and planners evaluate the implementation of the urban public transport (UPT) planning studies in terms of some objective measures such as load factor, mean volume per trip, capacity usage ratio and total capacity. In some cases, improving these measures may lead an unforeseen decrease...
