What would be an improvement
The answer depends on the original problem. If there was a lack of vehicles, more fleet and trips are expected. If the problem was grouping, regularity matters. If lines had been suspended, it is necessary to check resumption and coverage of points. If the vehicles were old, age, accessibility and air conditioning are included in the analysis.
A single photograph of the handover ceremony does not answer any of these operational questions.
Designing a before and after assessment
The earlier period must exclude exceptional events and use the same days of the week and time slots as the later period. The start date also needs to be precise: announcement, delivery to the garage and first trip are not the same milestone.
- Fix lines and territories affected by the contract.
- Save at least four previous comparable weeks.
- Mark the transition and avoid the first few days of adjustment as the only outcome.
- Measure observed vehicles, continuity and intervals per control point.
- Also compare neighboring lines to detect fleet redistribution.
What can distort the result
Changes in itinerary, school calendar, holidays, rain, major events, GPS failures and changes to the operational plan can change indicators. An apparent improvement may simply be higher transmission quality; an apparent crash may occur during system migration.
Therefore, BuzuRadar must publish coverage and uncertainty next to the result. When there is not enough history, the correct conclusion is to wait for more data, not to fill the gap with opinion.
