Efficiency Assessment of Urban Public Transport Operators: A Case of the Slovak Republic
Original language description
A key aspect in the transportation planning process is, among other things, the efficiency of transportation systems that ensures the required quality of provided services. This paper deals with the efficiency assessment of operators providing public transport services in 27 urban agglomerations in the Slovak Republic in 2016. The objective is to evaluate the performance of selected urban public transport (UPT) operators in terms of technical efficiency using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. Two input-oriented DEA models (CCR and BCC) were applied. The number of drivers, the number of lines and the consumption of materials and energy were selected for inputs; the selected outputs were the number of transported persons and sales and revenues from public transport. The application of models led to these results: there were 8 UPT operators identified in Slovakia who are able to transform these inputs into outputs efficiently and supposedly use best practices in the traffic management. Further, 3 UPT operators could be denoted as operating at the optimal and most productive size.
