Abstract

Para-transit system is flexible transport system in medium sized cities of India like Vadodara , due to various reasons. Size, pattern, structure, socio-economic conditions and network characteristics of these cities and service flexibility of PTS make it a vital transport system. This paper show the feasibility of Para transit as public transportation by conducting a commuter survey , frequency of the mode will be considered as 15 min ,economic analysis and level of service of it.
