Overview

Randomized trial assesses bus stop readiness in Jeddah, indicating areas for improvement in passenger experience.

Key Points

  • This study aims to develop a Smart Bus Stop Readiness Index (SBSRI) to evaluate interchange bus stops in Jeddah.
  • Developed a Smart Bus Stop Readiness Index integrating five dimensions
  • Conducted field audits and surveys with 71 users at seven bus stops
  • Applied sensitivity analysis for ranking stability under different weighting scenarios.
  • Mean SBSRI score was 39.07/100, indicating generally low readiness among stops.
  • Only Al-Balad Main Station A achieved moderate readiness; others reported low or very low scores.
  • Physical comfort was identified as the weakest dimension, with notable deficiencies in shade and seating.
