Public Transport Analysis in Petrosani Basin: Need for Sustainable Mobility | Chapter 7 | Research Developments in Science and Technology Vol. 7

 Sustainable urban public transportation necessitates striking a balance between the city's economic and social goals, providing residents' mobility without jeopardising the environment or their health. Because the Petrosani Basin is highly urbanised, implementing sustainable urban mobility requires starting with the findings of an investigation of the existing state of the public passenger transportation system. A first phase in this process was to investigate the impact of environmental, socio-political, transportation infrastructure and superstructure, operational methodologies, and economic elements unique to the Petrosani Basin on the public passenger transportation system. An essential topic to consider is the examination of transportation demand (passenger mobility per hour, day, and season). Given that the Petrosani Basin (population: 114,843) is made up of six communities, the Municipality Petrosani serves as both an attraction and an entry point to the Petrosani Basin (34,331 inhabitants). Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is becoming a priority in light of climate change mitigation aims. All of this contributes to a better knowledge of the Petrosani Basin's unique characteristics in terms of urban public passenger transportation. The SWOT analysis reveals that reorganising the public passenger transportation system is a viable strategy for achieving sustainable urban mobility. In these situations, the public transportation system must be redesigned to incorporate the use of environmentally friendly modes of transportation. As can be seen, one of the important avenues for the Petrosani Basin's growth is sustainable urban mobility. All parties, including the government, the county council, municipal councils, public transportation providers, and people, may work together to build a sustainable urban public passenger transportation system in the Petrosani Basin.

Study on Public Transport Modal Split as a Smart Growth Tool for New City Centre of Bratislava | Chapter 6 | Novel Perspectives of Engineering Research Vol. 4

 The major goal of this chapter is to discuss the development strategy for public transportation terminals in Bratislava, the capital of the Slovak Republic. Bratislava is undergoing a massive development boom along the Danube riverbank and on the outskirts of the Old City, where a new downtown has formed. Around 20 high-rises with various functions will be built in the designated area, together with more than 22 000 new parking places and almost 2 million m2 of new activities. In order to achieve a contemporary modern notion of building so-called "smart cities"– sustainable living and sustainable mobility– the city's position on this problem must consist of systematic regulation of build-out. The reality is that the street network around the contact region is currently saturated. A new bus station is being developed in this location, which will have an impact on the existing public transportation network, which is made up of municipal buses and trolleybuses. There is a complex of technical studies underway to build new tramway lines surrounding the centre, connecting the operated tramway network in Bratislava, in order to shift the modal split toward better utilising public transportation (PT).

The article discusses the city of Bratislava's suburb terminus, which is a central BUS station right in the new city centre (which was just completed and will be operational by the end of 2021) and a clever solution for tramway links surrounding the centre. The other major concern is the traffic survey methodologies and model results, which will be used not only for prediction scenarios of dynamic traffic flows, but also for adjusting the modal split for public transportation to match the new tram routes. The findings of technical research, as well as probable discussions on installing a modern nonconventional elevated automatic public transportation system in this area, are up for debate. The assessment of congested traffic flows, new traffic form investment, and the bus station, in combination with a large city PT line, result in a traffic modelling methodology for enhancing the operation of the territory and constructing new tramway lines as a form of sustainable mobility. Some decision-making tools and implementation procedures will be demonstrated. The fundamental issue is that the modal split for PT needs to be changed. In the city of Bratislava (Fig. 1) and its agglomeration in the Bratislava region, chances to improve the attractiveness of public transportation, as well as suburban bus service (SBS), are being identified, allowing it to take precedence over individual car traffic. The approach demonstrates how it is possible to be a part of an integrated public transportation system that can address mobility issues in the city on a daily basis rather than only during peak hours. Following is a summary of traffic engineers' and planners' efforts over the last five years to maintain a clear, systematic approach and solutions with developers and municipal administration.

Will Indonesia's Bus Subsidy Be Sustainable? | Chapter 1 | Advanced Aspects of Engineering Research Vol. 10

 The benefits and drawbacks of public transportation subsidies are hotly debated. On the one hand, as income levels rise, the proportion of people who use public transportation will decline, while the proportion of people who use private vehicles will rise. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that subsidies play an important role in the service and business of public transportation. However, since such subsidies are not recoverable, he will be required to carry out sustainable urban transportation in the future. Government and private sector partners should work together to develop a comprehensive subsidy programme that is aimed at the right modes and achieves long-term results. This paper is organised to address the question of how efficient government subsidies are in the case of developing countries.
