碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 土木工程研究所 === 82 === The rapid transit system will soon serve Taipei metropo- litan area and compete with city buses. It is comprehensible that the bus companys of Taipei will lose their passengers at certain amount. This will bring serious impact to the bus operators, and it is necessary to make some adjustment on their operation scale of bus lines, vehicle fleet, employees and terminals. Tamshui line of rapid transit system and Suoth China bus were chosen to be study subjects, because most of the bus lines of South China bus overlap Tamshui line. The problems between them will be discussed including: (1)how to adjust existing bus lines, and how to work out adjustment about vehicle fleet, drivers and terminals; (2)howto develop com- petetive strategy in long term. According to adjustment based on a study on the integra- tion of bus and rapid transit system of Taipei metropolitan area made by Asian Technical Consultant Inc., South China Bus was requested to cancel or merge 5 lines, create 2 lines , and finally keep 9 lines. On the assumption of most effi- cient management, the operation scale of South China Bus in long term(2001A.D.) and in short term(1994A.D.) are: vehicles -314 & 173, drivers-443 & 244, and the area measure of ter- minals(level ground)-6280 & 3460. In short term, we asigned idle drivers and vehicles to existing lines in proportion to their demands, in order to reduce cost of idle resources. In long term, considering the operation and development of South China Bus, we proposed a entire service planning system to promote the actual opera- tion and the competitive advantage.
