Abstract

Mass transportation plays a vital role in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing sustainability in urban environments. This study focuses on analyzing bus availability through simulation to optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of public transportation systems. The simulation model represents passenger arrivals and choices between two bus destinations, utilizing parameters such as bus arrival times, waiting times, and terminal capacity. Results demonstrate variations in passenger waiting times and bus utilization across destinations, with destination A experiencing an average wait of 1.84 min and destination B, 3.92 min. The model shows balanced passenger distribution, with an average of 13 waiting passengers for each route, indicating current bus capacity sufficiency. This study provides insights into using simulation as an analytical tool to improve bus station operations thereby minimizing passenger waiting times. Future research is needed to explore the factors that influence people’s willingness to use mass transportation.
