Abstract

Measuring the performance of transit routes plays a critical role in finding operational problems and helps transit agencies allocate resources effectively. To measure the performance of transit routes, using Brisbane as a case study we employ Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) on 42 bus routes. The analyses show that, for technical efficiency measurement, service duration is statistically associated with inefficient routes, while for service effectiveness, space-km and on-time performance (OTP) have a potential role in improving the performance of ineffective routes.
