The study provides a critical review of strategic decisions taken for improving the public transportation system's travel time performance (PTS). The key decision taken by various transportation systems for the improvement of travel time performance is examined and its relevance with commuter acceptance of PTS is observed. Total journey time is subdivided into Access time, in-vehicle and out-vehicle transit time, and egress time. Their percentage of total travel time influences the commuter’s mode choice and hence strategies effectiveness is of prime concern to reduce travel time. Implementation of access time strategies expects to reduce the time to reach public transportation network (PTN), public transportation is more easily accessible with higher service coverage. The in-vehicle and out-vehicle travel time strategies show the key operational characteristics that influence travel time performance. In-vehicle travel time strategies emphasize the improvement and reorganization of areas responsible for enhancing travel time compatibility with personal vehicle trips. Interconnectivity and timely availability of service at transfer sites were the focus of egress time initiatives. The long-term viability of public transportation is dependent on micro-level strategy enhancement and the suitability of strategies chosen for particular transport networks.
