The passengers need to use transfer transits to connect long-distance journeys. The transfer services at long-distance terminals are currently provided by taxies, buses and urban rails. Taxi services are normally categorized as demand-responsive and door-to-door accessible, but the fares are expensive. By contrast, the transit services provide high capacities and the fares are cheaper, but time costs are usually higher in terms of the in-vehicle time for buses or walking time for urban rails. As a member of urban public transportation, transfer modes usually provide services with flexible schedules, routes, fares and other transport properties. This study focuses paratrasits as the transfer mode especially with long-distance transportation terminals for major service stops. The operation of paratransits is somewhere between private vehicles and public transits by providing travelers demand-responsive, flexible routes, flexible time and door-to-door services.
This study aimed to analyze the role of paratransits, the combination with other transport modes, the potential market, as well as the characteristics of supply and demand sides in transfer demand. Accordingly, an operating service system framework and indicators of effectiveness were established for performance evaluation of paratransits.
As a result, the properties of transfer services by paratransits at long-distance transportation terminals were broadly discussed and understood. The study also proposed policy implications and suggestions in hope to finer urban public transportation system by participation of paratransits.
