Abstract
Due to the rising number of individuals who own cars and use limited transportation, especially in cities with populations of one to two million, the development of the automotive culture has had a significant impact on all metropoliseshighways in India's million-plus regions. The main cause of this is the shockingly low ridership of the public transport system, which is a result of poor service quality and lengthier journey times. Examining Bhopal's rapid and non-rapid road transport networks is the goal of this study. The evaluation of economic strength and service quality, as determined by commuter judgements of bus service quality, is done through the analysis of revenues, costs, profits, and losses. This can support the development of creative solutions to problems like increased commuter traffic, power consumption, and productivity gains. It can also help to make alternative public transportation options more accessible to the general public, help them meet equity goals, and increase their financial efficiency. Estimating the actual transport demand is another way to measure a new method because it allows the most practical and suitable framework to be chosen.
