Abstract

Recently, the need to introduce bus lines on a welfare basis is increasing as public intervention in bus routes is accelerated through semi-public bus system. The main objective of this study is to establish the concept of PSO (public service obligation) bus line on a welfare basis and propose a classification method of PSO bus line under semi-public bus system. We introduced 3 indexes such as “equity” in terms of bus line distribution, “publicity” in terms of age distribution, and “profitability” in terms of bus operating revenues. On the basis of 3 indexes, we introduced the PSO bus line, which is fair and public, even if it is not profitable. Based on the concept established in this study, we divided 130 ordinary city bus lines in Busan Metropolitan City into 8 PSO bus lines. Also, considering the positive impact of public buses, which are less profitable, but improve the mobility of residents and secure public community, we suggested the need to introduce public buses in bus service shortage areas.

본 연구는 전국적으로 확산된 시내버스 준공영제를 통해 시내버스 노선에 대한 공공의 개입이 가속화 되면서 수익성은 부족하지만 복지적 측면에서의 소위 정책노선 도입의 요구가 증대되는 현 상황을 파악하고, 정책노선의 개념 정립 및 분류방법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 정책노선은 운송비용에 비해 운송수입이 현저히 낮은 수익성이 없는 노선, 노선 배분이 공정하게 배분되지 않아 형평성이 타 노선에 비해 부족한 노선, 고령화 인구 분포가 높은 지역을 운행하는 공공성을 갖춘 노선으로 정의하고, 이를 분류하는 정량적 지표를 마련하였다. 이렇게 정립된 개념을 통해 부산광역시에서 운행되고 있는 일반버스 130개 노선을 대상으로 정책노선을 분류하여 8개 노선을 도출하였다. 또한, 정책노선이 운영됨에 있어 대체 노선이 없는 지역을 운행하는 노선에 대해 공공버스 도입을 제안하였다. 공공버스의 경우 수익성이 현저히 저하되지만, 지역 주민들의 활동성 증대와 공공 커뮤니티 확보라는 측면에서 긍정적인 영향을 미쳐 정책적으로 도입 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
