Abstract :Latterly, a superior utilization of public transport can be a remedy to mitigate the traffic especially in big cities, thereby, to environmental, economic and public health problems. However, the alternatives for reclamation are myriad and in spite of this consensus of necessity, reclamation decisions are often censured by the public. Predominantly, a significant difference can be detected between planners’ and passengers’ notion about amelioration matter. The aim of this paper is to enumerate public demand for public bus transport improvement, by analyzing public bus transport supply quality criteria between planners and public in Mersin City, Turkey. As a methodology, a combined Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Spearman correlation technique have been applied in order to illuminate the chasms between planners and public.Keywords : Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, public transport, multi criteria decision making (MCDM), supply quality
