Abstract

Conventional bus system mainly based on public steam (electric) vehicles is the main body of urban public transport passenger transport, its good service quality, reasonable line layout, higher level of operation has a greater impact on the residents travelling, and at the same time related to the public transport enterprises can be healthy development, but also on the society of low-carbon, green development has far-reaching significance. In this paper, we firstly use surveys and questionnaires to obtain and analyse the data resources of Jiaozuo City’s public transport development overview, residents’ willingness to travel, and public transport lines and stations; secondly, according to the content method of service quality evaluation, we select 11 indicators to establish a service quality evaluation index system from three perspectives of line network planning, operation level, and user service, and we use the hierarchical analysis method to determine the weights of the indicators, and conduct a comprehensive analysis of the service quality of the public transport in Jiaozuo City; finally, we combine the commonly used bus optimization methods, base on the ‘four-phase’ method of bus passenger flow distribution, select some of the problematic routes in Jiaozuo to put forward optimization and adjustment plans, and briefly summarize and analyse the optimization and adjustment plans. The study shows that the level of bus service quality in Jiaozuo City is general, and there is still a need and necessity for further improvement. Based on this, we propose the optimization plan of adding lines to the east section of Fengshou Road, splitting and adjusting the 30 bus lines and extending the starting and ending points, aiming to better improve the level of bus service in Jiaozuo City, and promote the development of public transport.
