Abstract
The “floating” car method using global positioning system (GPS) devices is used to collect data on the duration of traffic on city streets. However, a complete study of the transport network is time-consuming and includes additional financial investments. An alternative source of data collection is the use of rolling stock of public transport. Therefore, this article discusses the relationship between travel time by car and bus. It was found that the travel time of buses is usually more than the travel time of an individual vehicle. The impact of the characteristics of the road network, such as a number of regulated and unregulated intersections, a number of driveways, a number of bus stops, traffic intensity, a number of lanes and a number of turns on the duration of public transport, has been assessed. The results show the relationship between the considered durations of traffic and data from the board equipment of the vehicles of public transport can be used to estimate the duration of movement along the route taking into account the characteristics of the network.
