Public Transport System Components
1. Carriers or Conveyances – the vehicles that carry the passengers.
2. Travel Ways – road space or railway tracks where public transport
vehicles operate.
3. Facilities for Picking and Dropping Passengers
• Stops – simple facilities or structures along road side (referring
to road-based transit service).
• Stations – buildings below, on or above ground with facilities for
passenger loading and unloading (referring to railway-based
transit).
• Terminals – end stations of transit routes
• Transfer stations – stations which serve two or more intersecting
routes for passenger transfers.

Public Transport Right-of-Way Levels
Level 1: Transit vehicles use road space along with all types of
vehicles; no exclusivity to transit vehicles; a mixed-traffic
situation.

Transit System Performance Indicators
a) Frequency – number of departures per unit time
(e.g. per hour)
Headway – time interval between vehicle dispatches.
19
Local Public Transport Route Planning & Management Training Course | Module 1
Transit System Performance Indicators
d) Safety – risk of being physically harmed; measured in
terms of accident rate.
e) Point Capacity – the maximum number of persons
transit vehicles can carry past a point along the route.
f) Productive or Distance Based Capacity – usually
expressed in terms of passenger kilometers offered by
service.
g) Passenger Expense – price level passengers pay for the
service.
20

Transit System Performance Indicators
h) Utilization – the degree at which the capacity of the
service is utilized; may be expressed as the ratio of
actual occupancy to capacity or utilization rate (also
known as load factor)
i) Quality of Service – the degree by which the service is
enjoyed by the users in terms of comfort, convenience,
cleanliness, crew attitude and aesthetics; this is an
unquantifiable indicator.
j) Impact of the Environment – effects of the service on
its surroundings.

Hierarchy of Transit Modes
a) Low-Capacity Modes – 20
passengers and less per vehicle.
• Multicab
• Jeepneys
• Tricycle
• Taxi
22
Local Public Transport Route Planning & Management Training Course | Module 1
Hierarchy of Transit Modes
b) Medium Capacity Modes –
passenger seating capacity of about 30
to 60 per vehicle.
• Regular Bus
• Trolley Bus (bus propelled by an
electric motor where power is
obtained from two overhead wire).
• Streetcar or Tramway – electrically
powered rail transit vehicle
operating mostly on streets.
23
Local Public Transport Route Planning & Management Training Course | Module 1
Hierarchy of Transit Modes
c) High Capacity Modes – passenger
seating capacity of more than 60 per
vehicle.
Semi Rapid Transit
• Semi Rapid Bus (SRB) – high
BGC to NAIA BRT System
performance bus on routes that
include substantial sections on
exclusive right-of-ways.
• Light Rail Transit (LRT) –
electrically propelled rail vehicles
utilizing predominantly reserved
right-of-way.
