Given that this territory makes up only 0.22 percent of Lampung Province's total area, there is concern that Metro City may face issues as its population grows and its need for land increases while its supply does not.. By adopting a guided categorization approach to define the Metro City's land use area, the land use is divided into three categories: the use of developed land, the use of undeveloped land, and the use of water bodies. A supervised classification analysis was utilized to identify the land use in Metro City, and a straightforward linear regression analysis was employed to ascertain the connection between population and land use in Metro City. In the years 2010 to 2020, Metro City's population grew by 23,205, while in the same period, the amount of developed land in Metro City climbed by 429.72 hectares. The North Metro District, which has an area of 156.94 hectares, had the subdistricts that underwent the greatest changes in land use from undeveloped land use to the most extensive use of built up land, while the South Metro subdistrict, which has an area of only 48.53 hectares, underwent the fewest changes. If the population is compared to the use of undeveloped land, the relationship is inverse; for every rise in population, the use of undeveloped land will suffer a decrease. However, there will be an increase in the use of built-up land for every increase in population.

Is segmentation the way forward for enhancing the attractiveness of urban bus services? Lessons learned from Kolkata metro city

Incorporating conflicting requirements of different user groups and ensuring operational viability of bus services are the major challenges faced by transportation policymakers in developing countries like India. The paper reports an investigation on the design of urban bus services with segmentation giving due consideration to the requirements of user groups and service provider. A three-stage approach is demonstrated with reference to premium and ordinary bus services in Kolkata metro city. The design of premium service was carried out based on the choice riders’ (car owners) perception, while that of ordinary service was carried out based on the perception of captive riders’ (non-car owners) perception. A total of 10 routes with premium and ordinary services were selected for the study. Design was carried out for two cases namely, design with unconstrained supply of buses and design with constrained (present) supply of buses and guidelines and recommendations were given for the design of bus service with segmentation for Kolkata city. Application of the approach clearly showed that with marginal fare increment and additional supply of buses, highest level of service can be achieved without burdening the operator in terms of additional subsidy. The study offers a comprehensive methodological framework for the segmentation of urban bus services, which can be easily replicated in other cities. In addition, the valuable experience and insights shared in the study can provide practitioners with guidance and direction to develop sustainable urban bus services that align with transportation sustainability goals.
