Abstract

Following the population growth, the demand for the travel would increase as well. Tehran city, the most populas city of Iran and one of the most populous cities in the world, faces a massive amount of travel demands. Lately, the city of Tehran encounters an explosive amount of personal vehicles which have led to lengthening of the roads and the creation of the new roads have eventually resulted in the longer and speedier commutes on cars. As a consequence the increase of private transportation and multiplication of cars in the city have caused more traffic and pollution. The public transportation is one of the best solutions in solve this problem. In this research, we intend to study the efficiency rate of the public transportation systems in two neighborhoods of Mada’en and Haft Hoze.
