Research Proposal: Revitalization of Public Transport Network of Sahiwal City

This research proposal aims to revitalize the public transport network in Sahiwal City, Pakistan, which currently relies on inefficient qingqi rickshaws. The proposal seeks to identify public transport demand, replace rickshaws with a more suitable mode based on ridership, and study the impact on gas emissions. A survey will identify routes and demand, and headway analysis will estimate rickshaw numbers. An alternative network will be proposed to address both transportation and environmental issues facing the city and country.
