    Commuters pose a challenge to town planners for various reasons, although they account for a small percentage of travelers. Commuting takes place in two faces: the morning rush hour and the afternoon rush hour. This means that during these phases, the transport system undergoes much stress because of the spike in the number of users. This can be credited to the fact that people live and work in different places and that there is a uniform work time in the country. Work starting at 8-9 a.m. and ending at 5-6 p.m., this means that commuters have some special needs and requirement in so far as traveling is concerned. So, they require speedy and dependent transportation. In addition to this, there is the growing need to keep the commuters informed…

    A case study conducted in Boulder, Colorado regarding the reliability of the bus routes, and the hidden cost associated to commuters. Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) technology was used to determine whether a bus route was on time or late. The study set a specific timeframe where the bus route could be late or early and be considered on time. The study developed an equation and did the math for a person earning the minimum wage in Boulder, Colorado. The unreliability of a bus route to arrive on time was causing commuters to almost $700 of hidden additional costs per year9 . Considering a one-way travel fare costs about $2.60, this additional $700 are more than enough to pay for more than a year worth of one-way fares. The minimum wage in Los Angeles is higher than in Boulder, so we can predict a higher scaled up value would be found in Los Angeles, but would also depend on the reliability of Los Angeles’ Metro lines. This study showed an example of how those taking public transportation is costing users more than they could ever imagine. This study incorporated only a limited amount of factors into their time-value equation. Many more factors can be included in these will alter the hidden costs associated with taking public transportation. AVL technology is a good start to monitor and evaluate bus routes arrival performance,…

The functions of the PRTC and PUTC were to provide an efficient, adequate, economical, and properly coordinated system of road-based intercity and urban public transport services, respectively.
