Analysis of Urban Transport in Peshawar for User-Friendliness

Abstract

    This survey-based study was aimed to examine and evaluate the level of accessibility and security at the BRT stations in Peshawar. The study focused on female passengers of all ages. Only three stations were selected for the study, and the number of respondents at each station was kept up to 50. A questionnaire comprised of only eight questions was designed for this purpose. Respondents had three choices in their responses. Data obtained through the questionnaire revealed that a majority of the respondents were satisfied with the arrangements made at all three stations, although there was a clear difference between the figures obtained at different stations. The study suggests additional provisions at elevated and underground stations for disabled women.
