Abstract

Objective and impartial evaluation of operational performance for urban public transport has a great influence on transportation development in city. Based on the analysis of the influencing factors of operational performance for public transport, an empirical study of operational performance for public transport in Hebei Province is brought out by DEA. And the analysis finds out that there are only 20% cities which are scale efficiency. Based on the projection analysis, the main reason of scale inefficiency is the lack of the total amount passenger transport, therefore, this paper puts forward some specific recommendations to solve this problem. Thus it could be useful for the government to make relevant policies to improve the operational performance for public transport.
