Assessment Of Bus Stops And Its Effects On Major Roads In Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria

Abstract

Bus stops play an important role as it serves as the transit service points of contact between the passenger and the bus. This study aimed at mapping bus stops locations and showing the effects on major roads in Ibadan. Google earth satellite imagery was used to determine the spatial location of various major bus stops within Ibadan metropolis. Nineteen nine (99) bus stops were determined through the Google earth satellite imagery. Secondly, Oral interview based on the effects of bus stops on the major roads. Further analysis was done using ArcGIS 10.2.1 software application package and frequency distribution tables and simple percentage technique was used in analyzing data collected in the field. Structured questionnaires administered to a sample of 220 respondents which was randomly selected from the each local government area that makes up the metropolis making up a total of 220 respondents. 180 were returned out of 220. The Questionnaire was administered based on the data elicited from the respondents were analyzed through non-parametric method of Chi-square. Three (3) research hypotheses consisting of three (3) questions were formulated for this study which was all rejected; showing that school locations had significant effects on students/pupils, parents, and teachers. From the road map of Oyo state, the road map of Ibadan was extracted by digitization process using ArcGIS 10.2.1 software. Composite map showing the general distribution of various bus stop were generated. The results showed the scattered position of the major bus stops at various locations. Generally from the results of this study, it can be concluded that, regulatory body should be put in place by the government for proper location of new bus stops by the government and also relocation of some that are not properly maintained by the users.
