Disadvantages Of Public Transport

The precise public transport statistics includes geographical information about station points, user defined facts about public transport itinerary between stations, and user editable data about public transport itineraries. An effective system to managing public transport involves the management authority to access and analyse the data mandatory to make decisions (Ambroz, et al., 2016).
Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) services are considered to deliver sustainable local public transport; with difficulty to be financially viable. These are intermediate between the usual bus service and highly personalised services offered by taxis (Ryley, et al., 2014).
With the increasing predominance of the private car as a mode of transport in many countries,

Public transport in such areas is often poor, with low frequency services, limited operation hours, longest routes and unreliable connections among points. The most significant challenge to conventional public transport is ‘demand-responsive’ services (Petersen, 2016).
As per an opinion on ABC Networks- The Drum, “Public transport like trams and trains are pleasing; it helps the environment, saves time but has its disadvantages. A recent study conducted by road research group ARRB found that most Australians would prefer getting up at dawn and reach work early, to avoid the stress of road congestion, instead of catching a train.” (Fidge, 2016).
Mobility is one of the elementary requirements of a population, a prerequisite for the progress of an area in which the population migrates; availability of public transport presents a vital indicator of the excellence of passenger public transport system. Adequate networks between the rural and urban areas are essential for commuting (Sipus & Abramovic,

The current trend in many countries is the increasing attention for public-private partnerships (P3s), an innovative transportation delivery infrastructure approach. Due to lack of data availability to the public there is a high need for policy-makers to validate the effectiveness of the model to improvise and popularise the practise (Chen, et al., 2016).
According to Papanikolaou, it is obvious that traditional transport services are inefficient to cover the broad range of the population in an effective and reasonable way, particularly those situated in isolated interurban areas around contemporary urban complexes (Papanikolaou, et al., 2017). Demographics, price of alternatives, quality of facilities provided are few factors that affect the demand of public transportation; and the quality of public transportation and passenger satisfaction has been intensively researched in the past decade (Colesca, et al.,
