PURPOSES : This study aims to establish a performance measure to evaluate metropolitan transit centers from the perspectives of transportation and urban planning. The developed performance measure indicates the effectiveness of the metropolitan transit center in urban areas, suggesting a policy for design and urban development. METHODS : This study assesses the functionality of a transit center using a linear equation. Seven indicators representing the key functions of the transit center are employed to determine the efficiency of current status. We analyzed four transit centers–Cheongnyangni, Hapjeong, Sadang, and Seoul Station–where transfer centers are proposed owing to high traffic volumes. The coefficients are determined using the weights obtained from an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) survey. RESULTS : Application of the weights from the AHP survey to the indicators of each transit center reveals that overall Seoul Station scored the highest, whereas Cheongnyangni Station scored the lowest. In particular, Seoul Station performed better than other stations in terms of accessibility and simplified coverage area index (SCAI). Although Sadang Station slightly outperformed Hapjeong Station with respect to the total score, the variance was due to Hapjeong Station excelling in urban indicators despite its lower transportation metrics. Cheongnyangni Station scored low on most indicators despite significant physical investments, except for congestion, transfer time and floor area ratio. CONCLUSIONS : The AHP survey identified accessibility and SCAI as the most heavily weighted transportation-related indicators, while the floor area ratio, an urban development indicator, was the least weighted. Seoul Station, which excelled in accessibility and SCAI had the highest total score among the sites studied. However, locations with poorer transportation metrics but superior urban indicators can still function effectively as integrated metropolitan transit centers.
