Proposal on Integrated Bus Planning Sites for Mandalay City

Abstract

In Mandalay City, the current bus system is targeting to the industrial zones and new towns. The actual total bus travel time takes longer and longer by gathering passengers and so the demand is decreasing. Similarly, the advantage of the current bus system is to carry the various things bought by the passengers. In the land use based accessibility measurement, there is 21% good access, 22% fair access and 57% repair and no service area in Mandalay City. The highest good accessibility level is found in the kind of commercial land use and the least good accessibility level is found in the kind of the land use associated by transportation type. From land use planning approach, the type of commercial land use has the excellent public transport accessibility level in Mandalay City. Therefore, the optimal bus planning site selection model is developed by using overlay analysis.
