Integration of Public Transport Systems for Enhanced Passenger Mobility: A Systematic Review
Abstract:
Airports serve as critical nodes for tourist ingress within nations and cities; yet, the efficacy of public transportation systems connecting these gateways to final destinations remains suboptimal. This systematic literature review interrogates public transport integration systems (PTIS) to elucidate determinants of their efficacy and to explore their capacity as a service that enhances passenger mobility. An analysis of the extant literature indicates that the success of PTIS is contingent upon an array of factors that collectively influence the physical, operational, and institutional quality of transport integration. It has been identified that governmental entities play a pivotal role in provisioning reliable transport amenities, with an emphasis on infrastructure and operations predicated on integration to augment passenger mobility, diminish expenses, and curtail transfer durations. Nonetheless, the enactment of collaborative measures between regulatory bodies and service providers in the PTIS domain emerges as a formidable challenge, given its intrinsic linkage to business operations, revenue allocation, promotional strategies, and fiscal policies regarding subsidies.
