    The document discusses a case study on transportation planning for Gokuldham Society. Mr. Pulkit Mathur, the Chairman of Gokuldham Society, was baffled by the high costs of operating the shuttle bus services for residents to travel to the main city. The shuttle buses were often running below full capacity, resulting in high operational costs. To resolve this, alternatives proposed include changing the shuttle bus schedule, deploying smaller vehicles like cars or Force travellers when feasible to reduce fuel costs, and considering average and maximum passenger loads when making transportation decisions.

    Assignment

    Question 1: What baffled Mr. Pulkit Mathur, the Chairman of Gokuldham


    Society?
    Answer 1: Gokuldham society was located at a large distance from the main
    city, the residents were deprived of the basic amenities. So, they started their
    own transport facility by pooling their money. But the due to certain
    operational inefficiencies, the society was incurring high costs for its transport
    facilities. Pulkit Mathur studied the data and realized that the expenses on
    shuttle bus services constituted a major portion of the total transportation
    cost. Also, he noted that on several occasions, the shuttle buses did not run on
    full capacity resulting in high operational costs. So, he wanted to decide the
    optimal way of designing the transportation setup for the society.
    Question 2: What alternatives will you propose to resolve the problem faced
    by Mr. Mathur?

    Answer 2: The following alternatives can be considered to resolve the problem


    faced by Mr. Mathur:

    1. To change the schedule of the shuttle service


    2. To deploy cars and Force traveller instead of shuttle bus, whenever
    prudent, so as to cut down the fuel costs
    3. To give more weightage to average number of passengers as a
    quantitative parameter in decision making.
    4. To give more weightage to maximum number of passengers as a
    quantitative parameter in decision making
