Özet:

 Urban public transport, which is one of the important elements of urban life, is one of the main indicators that determine the level of development of cities. Especially in metropolitan cities, it becomes a necessity to make the best use of resources and increase the quality of service in the urban public transport sector, which is the common point in solving many problems such as traffic density, air pollution, noise, excessive energy consumption, etc. However, it is very important that bus routes, which constitute the backbone of urban public transport systems in almost all cities, are used effectively. In this study, efficiency analysis was carried out using Data Envelopment Analysis DEA on 323 bus routes serving in the city of Izmir with data for weekdays in the October-December 2019 period. The results show that the efficiency of bus routes decreases as the route length increases and the efficiency of the routes serving in the city center is higher. The results of the study will help businesses in terms of improving services, gaining new passengers, and making better use of resources.

 Kent yaşamının önemli unsurlarından biri olan kent içi toplu taşıma, kentlerin gelişmişlik düzeyini belirleyen temel göstergelerinden bir tanesidir. Özellikle büyükşehirlerde yaşanan trafik yoğunluğu, hava kirliliği, gürültü, fazla enerji tüketimi vb. birçok sorunun çözümünde ortak nokta olan kent içi toplu taşıma sektöründe, kaynakların en iyi şekilde kullanılması ve hizmet kalitesinin arttırılması zorunluluk haline gelmektedir. Bununla birlikte, hemen hemen tüm kentlerde kent içi toplu taşıma sistemlerinin bel kemiğini oluşturan otobüs hatlarının etkin şekilde kullanılması oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada İzmir kentinde hizmet veren 323 otobüs hattında 2019 Ekim-Aralık dönemi, hafta içi günlerine ait veriler ile Veri Zarflama Analizi VZA kullanılarak etkinlik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, otobüs hatlarının güzergah uzunluğu arttıkça etkinliğinin azaldığını ve kent merkezinde hizmet veren hatların etkinliğinin daha yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışma sonuçları, hizmetlerin iyileştirmesi, yeni yolcular kazanılması ve kaynakların daha iyi kullanılması açısından işletmelere yardımcı olacaktır.
