Abstract

Metropolitan areas around the world are facing traffic congestion and mobility issues. In this context, improving public transportation systems has become a critical requirement for ensuring the sustainability of cities. This study examines the impacts of public transport strategies implemented on Bagdat Street, one of Istanbul's main corridors, on pedestrian and vehicle networks. Using PTV VISSIM for traffic simulation, various scenarios, including changes in bus frequency, capacity, number of stops, and dedicated lanes, were analyzed. Findings reveal that increasing the frequency and reducing the capacity of the existing public transport buses not only improves traffic flow but also enhances passenger satisfaction. These insights provide valuable guidance for urban transportation planning and policy making, which can be adapted to similar contexts in other urban environments.
