Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

As from the day we have joined the college, we have been travelling by bus from Santacruz station to SNDT University. But we have observed that the bus timings are not managed properly. Also there is a lot of rush because of which we get late to reach the college. Since there is a sufficient no. of crowd travelling daily we have conducted a survey whether we need a private bus service from Santacruz station to SNDT.<\/p>\n

Objective:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To understand the underlying issue of unavailability of bus service from Santacruz station to SNDT.<\/p>\n

Literature Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raj, S.(2024) states that \u201cFor a city\u00a0to thrive, it must connect its people efficiently. Public bus services leading to significant issues for commuters. Mere proximity to roads is insufficient, as majority of the population cannot afford daily commuting through cars or private transport. Additionally,\u00a0to optimize urban planning, it’s essential\u00a0to establish last mile connectivity\u00a0in areas lacking direct transport links. If the suburban or metro journey ends at a particular station, public\u00a0buses should be available to take us, making distant locations accessible for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mishra, K. (2023) stated that \u201cScores of\u00a0city\u00a0commuters\u00a0expressed their frustration\u00a0over\u00a0the lack of sufficient\u00a0public\u00a0transport\u00a0on various routes. The absence of adequate\u00a0buses caused inconvenience to locals, with many struggling to reach their destinations. Commuters face difficulties due to inadequate bus services. Commuters, gathered at prominent locations such as CSMT, Marine Drive, Girgaon, Haji Ali Chowk, and the Gateway, highlighted the difficulties faced due to inadequate nus services. They emphasised that the situation disproportionately affected female and elderly\u00a0commuters. Waiting times for\u00a0public\u00a0transport\u00a0stretched for hours, forcing some to resort to overpriced taxis due to lack of options.\u201d<\/p>\n

Data Collection:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the problem \u2018Unavailability of bus service from Santacruz station to SNDT\u2019, we made a questionnaire consisting of five objective questions and surveyed 100 students on the Likert Scale, scaled 1,2,3,4 and 5 (Strongly Disagree \u2013 Strongly Agree) with the help of Google Forms and compiled the data on Excel sheet.<\/p>\n

Data Analysis:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For data analysis, we calculated the Mean (X), Standard Deviation (SD), Standard Error (SE) and t-stat (Z) values of each question, i.e. from question 1 to question 5 in the Google Sheets. These statistical tools helped us form results and conclude our survey.<\/p>\n
