dc.description.abstractThe main objective of this research was to measure operational performance of public vehicles (efficiency and effectiveness). DEA was used for measurement of operational performance of public vehicles. Due to data and resources constraints only two public transportation company viz; Tarkeshwor Yatayat and Sajha Yatayat were selected for the research purpose. When different vehicles of Sajha yatayat are analyzed, most of vehicles running in Lagankhel to Budhanilkantha and Lagankhel are found running more efficiently and effectively despite having large number of buses. From comparison between 5 routes of Sajha yatayat, Lagankhel to Budhanilkantha route and Ratnapark to Godawari route are found both efficient and effective than other routes. Airport to Thankot route has least effectiveness and efficiency score. So, Sajha Yatayat should focus on changing modality of operating bus in that route. Being longer route vehicles of Sajha Yatayat runs continuously for whole day. So, their efficiency and effectiveness score have greater variance. But being short route vehicles of Tarkeshwor Yatayat have to wait in queue for longer period of time. Vehicles time period is distributed evenly to complete 5 to 6 trips per day. So, their effectiveness and efficiency score have less variance. The research also finds that efficiency and effectiveness score between vehicles running in longer route have greater variation.en_US
