Abstract Public transportation decisions are an important aspect of management of cities. Especially, for the small and midsized cities, bus transportation is more important due to lack of rail transportation. The goal of this paper is to present determination of public transportation vehicle from the municipal corporation managers’ perspective by using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). In our analysis, we use 4 main criteria and 9 sub-criteria that are indicated by the experts for the selection of the most suitable bus considering sustainability conditions. A survey is designed about vehicles with internal combustion engines and electric motors that enables each expert to compare the relative priority of each criterion with other criteria. A real world application of a municipal corporation is conducted to illustrate the utilization of the model. The results presented in this study highlight the necessity to integrate analytic and comprehensive decision-making process into public transportation decisions.
