Abstract:
Public transportation systems have always provided important services to people. People or customers, as the main stakeholders, need available, fast and reasonably priced transportation systems. However, developing the public transportation system, on one hand, needs educated people to run and update the system based on the new technologies, and, on the other hand, needs to cover environmental agencies' requirements. Global warming as the main concern of environmental agencies has forced the public transportation system to control the greenhouse gas emission and find environmentally friendly solutions for public transportation networks. It is, therefore, important to not just think about the development of the public transportation network, but also consider other stakeholders’ requirements as well. In this paper, the authors apply the “system thinking” approach to understand the stakeholders’ requirements and how to have a public transportation system that respects all stakeholders’ requirements. By using the systemigram method, we model the public transportation network in Norway, and analyze where we could affect the problems of its development.
