Abstract
In a small/medium-sized city (SMSC), bus is the one and only transit mode for citizens. Thus, better transit planning in SMSC will be even more productive in comparison with a big city. OD data is essential for establishing city transit planning. Recently big city’s transit agencies more often use Automatically Collected Data or transit card data for making OD matrix. However, SMSC still use traditional OD survey method which requires a lot of money and labor expenses, though it does not guarantee an accuracy of OD data. Therefore, this study will argue new OD surveying method for SMSC. This study suggests simplified OD surveying method without a big scale OD surveying studies in SMSC. As a result, this study shows that (1) the cost of obtaining OD matrix is significantly reduced; (2) the resulting matrix is based on significantly larger sample size; and (3) the process is more suitable for simplification that will make it much faster and therefore be able to be updated more frequently.
