Despite the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and unfavorable foreign policy factors, tourism remains attractive to the population of many countries. The desire of a person to “move” in order to see something new, to feel what representatives of other cultures feel, is natural, in line with the logic of the historical development of peoples, and should be welcomed and encouraged at all levels of the state system. The transformation of travel into a mass phenomenon (including travel for tourism purposes) is largely due to almost revolutionary changes in the transport system. In modern conditions, the traveler is more focused on the independent choice of the tour, the alternative ways and means of transportation in an unfamiliar country. This imposes an additional burden on public transport, which must be taken into account when analyzing the potential of the transport infrastructure of the host country. In the main areas of analytical work, special attention should be paid to identifying social preferences of foreign travelers in the field of transport, determining priorities when choosing a travel method. In this regard, the following are relevant: a) the motives for choosing a mode of transportation / mode of transport by a tourist; b) the relationship of ethnic preferences and expectations when choosing a transport service; c) assessment of the emotional characteristics of the choice. Consideration of these issues and some conclusions obtained as a result of experimental work are presented in this paper.

The assessment of transport infrastructure is one of the significant criteria for a foreigner who chooses another country as a place of work or study. This article is aimed at identifying and scientifically describing ethnic stereotypes in the assessment of transport and transport infrastructure of the host country, analyzing the elements of ethnic consciousness involved in the formation of prejudices towards foreign culture or everyday phenomena. Since any ethnic stereotypes are "fragments of contacts" between peoples, their assessment in terms of historical and cultural interaction seems important and timely. Ethnic stereotypes in the assessment of transport infrastructure have a significant impact on the formation of the image of the country and affect the process of social and cultural adaptation of a foreigner. Research carried out in this direction makes it possible to find effective solutions to specific problems and to take into account the specifics and the influence of the human factor on the artificial environment, and the transport environment is part of it. Given the diversity of real ethnic groups, which include traffic users, it is necessary to raise the issue of developing verified programs of social and cultural adaptation for various categories of foreign citizens.

“…Available literature shows that many researchers focused on social, human comfort, and socioeconomic aspects/ conditions of BRT in Lagos State. For instance, Adebambo and Adebayo [13], Kolawole [14] Orekoya [1], Okagbue [15], Afolabi and Fashola [5], Afolabi et al [16] and Kuye et al [17] studied the passengers' attitudes and preferences regarding bus rapid transit (BRT) in Lagos State in the areas of ranges, safety, affordability, reliability, trip duration, and waiting time at BRT bus stations. The impact of bus rapid transit services on cost-cutting potential, income, and passenger satisfaction with bus rapid transit to passenger movement in Lagos State was studied, and it was discovered that the rate of accidents among bus rapid transit buses is infinitesimally low, as is the rate of sensitivity of bus rapid transit commuters to highway congestion accidents.…”

The amount of time users have to wait influences their mode of transportation choice. Commuters don’t like to wait in the bus station, especially when the weather is terrible and for the purpose of keeping appointments. Scheduling buses to the various bus terminals will meet the commuter’s needs. The aim of the study is to reduce the waiting time of commuters at bus station and to assign buses to each route. A mathematical model called linear programming (LP) was developed to schedule buses to improve the smooth process of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. The linear programming model was applied to the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) data in Lagos State. The proposed method generated three (3) shifts from 6 – 11am in the morning, 11 – 4pm in the midday and 4 – 9pm in the evening subject to two (2) shifts of fifteen (15) hours to reduce the number of hours buses operate per day and also allocated buses for each route for weekdays with five (5) hours per each shift instead of seven (7) hours buses operated per shift. A properly implemented strategy would significantly decrease passengers' long waits at bus stops, reduce the breakdown of buses, man-hours lost, and allows commuters to meet their various schedule for works, meetings, and other assignments.
