Abstract

In the paper, the problem of determining the crew efficiency indicator was analysed. The limits of the coefficient value were checked. In terms of the theoretical values the Wroclaw City case was studied. Differences between theoretical and empirical values were identified. Their genesis was found and guidance for constructing the timetable was provided. The designers constantly take measures to increase the value of this coefficient, for example by operating several lines by one vehicle. Increasing the length of communication lines - despite making them more susceptible to traffic disruptions—increases the achievable value of the efficiency index, as the length of the course does not affect the time required to perform duties on the loop. The highest values of the indicator are obtained on working days, when the planned transport is the highest. As the number of vehicle kilometres per day decreases, it becomes more difficult to achieve rational index values.
