Description

China's overall public transportation passenger volume shows a fluctuating downward trend from 2020-2023, and the national commuting high-peak traffic congestion index rises year by year during the same period, which puts the development of public transportation at an urgent stage. Against this backdrop, many cities in China have attempted to develop innovative public transportation services to improve the quality and attractiveness of public transportation services. The special medical line is an important type of Subscription Bus Services(SBS). Compared with traditional buses, the first and last stops of the special buses are usually set near hospitals or inside communities, which greatly improves the convenience of traveling for people seeking medical treatment. However, in the process of operation, it has been found that some of the special lines have insufficient passenger flow and lower frequency of departure. In order to increase the attractiveness and improve the operation efficiency of the special line, the thesis carried out a survey on the travel demand of users by taking Line 2 of the special line of the Beijing as an example, which was based on the public transportation demand of the medical passenger, and constructed a satisfaction evaluation system of the special line by using the semantic difference method, which was then evaluated by the Pearson correlation coefficient . The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the passengers' willingness to ride, and it was concluded that the convenience and perfect service facilities have a greater impact on the passengers' willingness to ride. Finally, in view of the problems of insufficient door-to-door connection at the end of the bus, lack of supporting facilities, lack of path guidance, etc., a system optimization strategy is proposed from the reconstruction of travel routes, improvement of supporting facilities, the last kilometer connection, and intelligent operation organization of special medical line.
