Measuring Transport Accessibility in Urban Cities: A Literature Review

Access to public transportation has become crucial in establishing and analyzing the mobility and sustainability of the transit system. Apart from the transportation system itself, the perceived accessibility of public transportation considerably impacts life satisfaction. However, even though public transit is to lower the external cost of driving a private vehicle successfully, many urbanites do not use it, and many residents have limited or no access to public transportation. Governmental policy should enhance the quality of life of the most vulnerable population segments and eliminate social isolation. In addition, the accessibility gap between zones persisted, and the distribution remained unequal despite improvements. In conclusion, those accessibility metrics are frequently suited to a particular place or activity by a specific set of individuals; nonetheless, no one has explored a system that examines all accessibility characteristics.— besides integrating various public transportation modes or introducing new public transport services resulted in different approaches representing impacts, scales, and viewpoints. Hence, as a specific planning decision, various methods are needed.
