A Data Envelopment Analysis for Evaluating the Performance of China's Urban Public Transport Systems
This paper investigates the efficiency of urban public transport systems in China using a data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach. Based on the data from 652 China cities in 2004 and 2006, we found that the overall efficiency of urban public transport systems is relatively low but showed signs of improvement from 2004 to 2006. The urban public transport systems in east coast, south coast and middle Changjiang river areas have relatively higher efficiencies than those of others, which is consistent with the uneven distribution of the economic level and investment on public transport among regions throughout China. The policy implications on the basis of this study are that increased investment on the public transport sector, especially in less developed areas, together with the development of an urban rail transit mode would be effective ways of enhancing the efficiencies of urban public transport systems.
