Running time and speed of public transport modes influence attractiveness for passengers and profitability to a high degree. The approach described here was developed and applied in a medium sized city (250,000 inhabitants) including ten bus lines from three operators. The approach consists of the following components: analysis of running times; analysis of passenger numbers; detection of disturbances, evaluation of measures; and assessment of measures. Bringing together all measures developed, running times can be reduced significantly. How the particular measures contribute to speeding up buses is explained. For the covering abstract see ITRD E126595.
