- W396841566 abstract "Private jitneys were the only form of public transportation in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and an important part of its transportation scene for many decades. However, when the Saudi Arabian Public Transport Company (SAPTCO) began to operate as the city's subsidized transit company, jitney operators chose to operate only in the profitable corridors and only during periods of peak demand. Thus, SAPTCO had to operate losing routes and services without offsetting revenue from peak periods and heavy-demand corridors. The findings of a study conducted to evaluate the performance of both SAPTCO and jitney services in Riyadh are presented. The annual public transportation ridership is estimated at about 26 million passenger trips, 82% of which are carried by minibuses. It appears that the jitney clientele is attracted to the jitneys because they offer service qualities that are lacking in the public transit system, including shorter waiting times, shorter trip times, and a patron's ability to flag vehicles at any street corner and to get off at will. It also appears that SAPTCO cannot operate successfully in the presence of such fierce competition from minibuses. Thus, SAPTCO is not giving intracity services a priority in its operations; instead, it is using its resources in the profitable operations of intercity services and the contracts and chartered bus business. However, poor performance by SAPTCO seems to be a bigger obstacle to successful operation than fierce competition by jitneys. The dilemma facing the city officials is twofold: (a) serving the areas that lost public transportation services, either jitney or SAPTCO; and (b) integrating the jitneys into Riyadh's public transportation system without harming the SAPTCO system." @default.
