2015 Quality Bus Corridor Monitoring Report – Dublin 2015 Quality Bus Corridor Monitoring Report – Dublin November 2015 Purpose: The purpose of the monitoring exercise is to undertake a time series analysis of the operation of each QBC in the Dublin Region. The following information has been measured: Bus Journey Time (one-way) Bus Speed (one-way) Bus / Car Journey Time comparison (one-way) Mode Share (canal cordon points) Count of bus passengers (canal cordon points) Scope: 15 QBCs have been analysed over a 4 week period every November. Please refer to figure 1 for a map of the geographical extent of the QBCs monitored. Data Sources: Graph 1 – Bus Journey Time: The one-way bus journey time (AM & PM) for the corridor, as described in each section, is provided by Dublin Bus. It is an extract from their AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) database covering the month of November. AM journey times refer to the inbound route while PM refers to the outbound. Graph 2 – Bus Speeds: The bus speeds for the corridor are also provided by Dublin Bus, from the AVL database. Graph 3 – Journey Time Comparisons: This graph compares one-way bus and car journey times along a shorter section of the QBC. The car journey time data is derived from Sat-Nav units. These units provide up to date but also historic data for journey times across the road network. It is possible to extract the month of November so the data corresponds to the bus AVL data. Graph 4 – Mode Share: The mode share data is provided by the Dublin City Council annual cordon count. It is supplemented with the Dublin Bus Cordon Count. Graph 5 – Bus Passengers: This graph shows the number of bus passengers at QBC canal cordon points. This data is provided by the Dublin Bus Cordon Count. 1.

  • Evidence of Measures Delivering Patronage Growth
    JMP Consultants Ltd Bus Strategy Appendix E EVIDENCE OF MEASURES DELIVERING BUS PATRONAGE GROWTH June 2016 1 JMP Consultants Ltd INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Bus Strategy seeks to provide a framework for a growing bus system in West Yorkshire; one which reflects the needs of current and future users. The Strategy identifies that this growth must come from encouraging more young people and people of working age to use the bus, otherwise, long term demographic trends will lead to an increased reliance on concessionary travellers, with consequent implications for the financial sustainability of the system. This financial sustainability is an important theme of the Strategy, and consequently the measures identified within the Strategy have a strong emphasis on promoting passenger growth. 1.2 The Strategy furthermore identifies that substantial bus patronage growth is achievable, and notes that other towns and cities across the UK and Europe are seeing substantial bus patronage increases. This appendix therefore provides some of the evidence of where investment in the bus network has delivered patronage growth. It demonstrates the types of investment, and the wide range of investments, that can contribute to delivering passenger growth. These investments in turn inform the Bus Strategy proposals outlined within the main report. 1.3 Consequently, the appendix is structured to provide the available evidence in line with the Bus Strategy Proposals presented in Chapter 6 of the Bus Strategy. The annex at the conclusion of this appendix details the data sources referenced. 1.4 Often there is limited evidence available, and from the information which is available it can be difficult to identify the impact of individual measures.
