Regional Disparities In Geographical Development Of Upsrtc

Any transportation network is a reflection of the contemporary spatial organization of economy, social conditions and political set-up. So, transportation is an essence for the development of any region or country. Present study analysed the regional disparities in Geographical Development in UPSRTC. Nature of the study is analytical, in which descriptive research methodology is used. Study is based on secondary data obtained form the annual reports of UPSRTC, Cumulative Operational Result, Cumulative Costing Statement, Circular release from UPSRTC, Lucknow office. Mann-Whitney U-test has been utilized to find out the significance in difference, if any. Highly significant difference between regions of UPSRTC was found in bus utilisation, total income earn and total expenditure and in profit/loss per bus per day. A significant difference between regions of UPSRTC was found w.r.t. annual change in load factor. But, no significant difference has found between regions of UPSRTC w.r.t. fuel average, No. of buses, Earned Kms. and total profit/loss. Study recommend that regional disparities should be removed by including more number of routes in regions with less operated routes and by including new routes or increasing frequency of bus operation in less route-length covered regions. Effective maintenance, management and monitoring must be ensured to remove regional disparity.
