To promote the positive urban public transit development cycle,a local government needs to effectively manage and monitor the public transit system,and makes the financial subsidizing policies efficient and transparent.For that purpose,this paper proposes an information system for managing public transit services in today’s information age.First,the paper analyzes the factors that influence performance of a public transit service,develops a performance evaluation system for public transit services based on comparable indices,and then reveals the balancing relationship between revenue and cost for public transit system and studies the decision-making method in the cost planning.With the results from the above work,the paper introduces the information system for managing public transit services that is designed for government agencies in charge of public transit services.Lastly,the paper outlines the position of this public transit information system in the overall public information system platform and the relationship between this system and other data systems.
