Transportation Information System of/compare with transports in Nantong(just an example) and Charlottetown(a city in Prince Edward Island), and going to establish a new transport system in Charlottetown. To: Government of Prince Edward Island, T3 Transit Company and Citizen Prince Edward Island From:Chenyao Wu, Jianeng Pang and Yangmengch Ding Subject: Transportation Information System of Charlottetown Summary New Charlottetown Transportation System provides a better public vehicle tool and convenience to go out for citizens. Through the contrast between Nantong and Charlottetown, we find that Nantong Transportation System is more perfect than Charlottetown, because the population in Nantong is bigger than in Charlottetown. Which means there are more people in Nantong will take bus. Based on that the population in Charlottetown is increasing year by year, we create a New Charlottetown Transportation System. We improve the information system, which can let people know the bus condition anytime, instead of checking online. Also setting up the kiosks for the elderly who may be tired for waiting for bus and prevent bad weThis proposal is talking about the public transportation of Charlottetown, the provincial capital of PEI, Canada. The permanent population of Charlottetown is 30,000. It is a large number of a city, and the status quo of Charlottetown is not perfect. ather. Building the own path for bus which increases the efficiency of bus. Based on that the purpose of transportation is to service citizens, so we push out “Transit Priority” Strategy to give priority to develop public transport. Introduction: Public transportation is a very important part in our life when we live in Charlottetown. Not only for the citizen, but also for the government and T3 bus company. So, Yangmengchi Ding, Jianeng Pang and Chenyao Wu write this proposal to analysis the public transportation of Charlottetown. In this article, you can understand the current situation and problems of public transportation of Charlottetown. He permanent population of Charlottetown is 30,000. It is a large number of a city, and the status quo of Charlottetown is not perfect. After that, you will find some methods to improve the public transport of Charlottetown by comparing with the public transportation of Nantong, a coastal city of Jiangsu province in China. But it still needs a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to improve it. In the following sections, we provide additional details about the proposed tasks, schedule, and budget, as well as our credentials and references. All of this information will help the government and the T3 bus company to perfecting the public transportation. And only in these ways, the citizens can enjoy a comfortable, convenient and rapid lifestyle. Task#1: The existing public transportation system in Charlottetown. In Charlottetown, there is only one company that named T3 Transit. T3 Transit Company found in 2005. According to Wikipedia, T3 Transit Company found in 2005 at Charlottetown transit, the 150th anniversary year of the city's incorporation. It is funded by the municipal and federal levels of government and provides service throughout the city's neighborhoods. The province of Prince Edward Island does not provide transit subsidies toward the service. The last attempt at public transit was in the form of Charlottetown Urban Transit Systems Limited from late 1979 to 1981. It has a green symbol and the green bus, which are operating. And in Charlottetown, T3 Transit Company has 7 bus lines, and the ticket is $2.25 (T3 Transit Company, 2015). The T3 Transit system is face to all Charlottetown population that is 34562 and in the Charlottetown area that is 44.29km^2. Task#2: With the development of Nantong, at the end of the 2012, there are 1.848 million of vehicles, the increase number of vehicles is 104,000. The number of personal car ownership is 571,000, an increase of 117,000 vehicles. The passenger car number is 617,000, an increase of 118000 vehicles. Over the previous year, car class retail sales growth of 23.1%. (Nantong website) Population of Nantong is 227,3326. (Travel china guide, 2015) The urban area of Nantong is 1515km2. In 2013, the GDP Per Capita (RMB) is 69050. (China knowledge) Now, there are over 91 bus routes and 910 buses in Nantong city, and it covers nearly the whole area of Nantong city. (China tours online) The common bus ticket costs only CNY 1 and there is no conductor on the bus. If the buses with air-conditioner, they may be costing CNY 2. The guests can pay by cash or buy and charge bus ID cards. There are many discount if you buy and charge the bus ID card. If you are a student, you can enjoy half price. If a senior citizen who is older than 65 or who is disabled, he or she can take the bus for free. If you just a common citizen, you can have 30% percent off. The price of the bus ID card is just CNY15, and you can use it all the times. Nantong has an extensive public transportation system which runs from approximately 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM daily. (Nantong map) It also has buses at night (after 11:00pm), they provide overnight operation. We have bus lanes in all routines, and we set laws to make sure no car can occupy them during the peak traffic hour. (6:30am-9:30am, 4:30pm-7:30pm) Nantong has announcements about pending bus stops at each bus stop. Most bus stops have electronic screens, the screens can tell you how many times and stops you need to wait until the next bus coming. Now, 60 units of white-colored sister city buses are lined up on the production line of sister plant, prepared to be delivered to Nantong Public Transport Co., Ltd. The batch of buses includes JS6106, JS6811 and JS6116 which are to be rolled out in the end of July, 2015. (China Bus) All these buses are big and well equipped, you will feel very comfortable when you sit on these buses. When all these buses come into use, all citizens can enjoy a more convenient life. There are two bus operating companies in Nantong. One is a Nantong bus corporation, with Nantong bus company and Nantong bus rapid transit. Another is a Nantong Feihe bus company, its affiliated with the Nantong trucks group. (Nantong public transport) These two companies work together and cooperate with each other, so Nantong can have a good transportation website. But in my opinion, these two bus companies also have some problem on existing lines and the running time. When we usually take the bus, the bus company provided buses, there is always the station unpunctuality. This leads the passenger who needs to transfer on time to get the other vehicles some worries. The buses are common, but sometimes we need to wait about 15min for the next bus coming. Because their sites are always set in less traffic integration of urban and rural areas. There are less sites in urban areas. Two people in Nantong city within the scope of activities not much practiced. On these points, companies must stand on the general public and economic development to improve themselves. Task#3: New public transportation system in Charlottetown. 1. Set up information platform and open to the public Information platform is very important and people know about the bus schedules and how they have been changed. Now, we only can know the schedules from the website and station. But it is not enough. The information should be showing on the screen in every station and on every bus. Also, every station should have arrived time of next bus. Then, on the bus, arrived time of next station will be showing on the screen too. When, the system is made up, the customers will feel more and more convenience 2. Establish a standing kiosks and display platform for infrastructure In Charlottetown, there are a lot of stations, which only have a plat at the bus stations but that may not be enough. Due to the weather, passengers won’t to wait for 15-30mins (T3 Transit Company, 2015). So the stations need to update the facilities. Making them becomes a standing kiosks and display platform for infrastructure. Therefore, passages will like to wait for the buses inside. 3. Change or update the bus and devices on the bus The company needs to buy new buses or update the buses. In the bus, the screens and air-conditions have been needed. Due to building an information system of transportation and Canadian weather such as winter. 4. Establish bus dedicated channel, speeds up the operational efficiency of the public transport system In Charlottetown, around 8:30, 1:30 and 5:30, the road will be abnormal congestion, so suggest opening a bus lane and ensure it's smooth. This ensures that the bus operation efficiency. Saves time and gives more profits. Task#4: Comparing with the transportation system existing in Nantong, Charlottetown’s need to be improved more. We should put people in the first. Although the rate of car ownership is high in Charlottetown, bus is still an important vehicle. People should know the information about bus condition quickly and conveniently. Also an comfortable environment should be offered to people for waiting for the bus. So New Charlottetown Transportation System should develop based on following criteria: 1.Improving information system 2.Perfecting bus station environment 3.Updating vehicle 4.Increasing operation efficiency Task#5 Developing direction of New Charlottetown Transportation System “Transit Priority” Strategy 1.Ease traffic congestion. In Charlottetown, around 8.30, 1.30, and 5.30, University Avenue is really congested. It takes people around 20 more minutes to arrive home. “Transit Priority” is good for easing traffic congestion. The more people take bus, the less cars will be drove on the road. 2.Protect environment. As often being mentioned, the whole world’s weather is getting warmer and warmer. Exhaust emission is to blame. The sea level is raising day by day, and glacier keeps melting, which are really dangerous for our world in the future. Also the number of private cars is increasing year by year, which may because faultiness of Transportation System. If we have a good system, I think more people will choose bus instead of private cars. 3.Increase job opportunity. Adding buses, adding bus routes all can offer more jobs to people. Low rate of employment is a big problem that economics in Charlottetown grow slowly. Task#6: Budget: Conclusion: This proposal is for the government, T3 Transit Company and the citizens who live in Charlottetown. In the proposal, two transportation information systems in different place are compared. And there is a new system has been made with the criteria and the future direction, which means the future of transportation information of Charlottetown. Also, the budget has been showed in the dollar. From the proposal, the Transportation Information System will bring more profits to T3 Transit Company, more welfare for citizens and more success for government of Charlottetown.
