Small-scale quality assessments of PT form the basis for the planned demand-oriented development of these services. In the course of this, an attractive PT service should lead to an increased demand for public transport. For this conclusion to be viable, the indicators used to assess the attractiveness of PT have to reflect the frequency of its use. In this context, this study examines which components make up an attractive service and which small-scale indicators can serve as predictors of demand. So far, two dimensions distinguish the small-scale attractivity of PT: the availability of services and the accessibility of destinations. An evaluation of the relevant literature shows five promising approaches to evaluate these two dimensions: To calculate availability, the services at the nearest stop can be used, a quality level method can combine the departure times of different stops, or a density approach can evaluate the PT services of a district. The generalization of the connection to the nearest central district or location-based accessibility measures can be used to evaluate PT accessibility. In order to determine these five approaches regarding their correlation with demand, each one is calculated on a small-scale basis for the whole of Germany and attached to the mobility diaries of “Mobility in Germany 2017” (infas et al. 2018). Using this data, logistic regressions estimate the relationship between the PT supply at the place of residence and the choice of motorized means of transport (as a measure of demand). The statistical analysis shows that several approaches can be used as predictors of demand. For simple applications, a density approach is suitable for quickly determining availability. In service development, the use of quality levels appears to make sense, as they enable detailed statements to be made about the distance to multiple stops and the frequency of service available there. The sole consideration of the nearest stop, on the other hand, represents an unfavorable combination of calculation effort and informative value. This approach is therefore not suitable for the intended application. When considering PT accessibility, location-based accessibility measures provide considerably better results compared to the generalization of certain connections. Since availability and accessibility are independently related to PT use, an evaluation of the offer should take both elements into account. An exemplary, Germany-wide PT evaluation illustrates that the identified approaches can be operationalized for practical applications and evaluated in aggregated as well as cartographic form. It also shows that the indicators assessed can be expanded and adapted to the specific conditions of individual applications. For example, differentiating between different means of public transport in the quality level approach offers enormous potential. In conclusion, this study shows that a differentiated and combined consideration of availability and accessibility is essential in order to map the attractiveness of PT services in a realistic way. It also aids in the selection of suitable indicators to enable well-founded decisions for demand-oriented service planning.
