    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Passengers expect and deserve an experience at railway stations, through service, facilities and access, which adds to their end-to-end journey experience. Research shows that integration with others modes, convenient facilities, readily available information and an environment which is pleasant to move around and wait in are significant influences on both the attractiveness of rail and determinants of passenger satisfaction.&lt;br&gt;
In this thesis station platform capacity of Addis Ababa light rail transit for efficient and effective urban transport service provision is examined. This study is designed to help LRT in the development of more secure and capable station, in terms of passenger capacity on platform areas.&lt;br&gt;
The assessment considers LOS (level of service) criteria, which is evaluated in two ways first by evaluating the LOS of long term and initial stage of predicted passenger flow and second evaluation of LOS of the proposed platform by considering unused spaces.&lt;br&gt;
The evaluation will help to evaluate the capacity and safety of the platform for the forecasted passenger volume of selected stations which are selected based on the maximum and minimum passenger volume. The forecasted passenger volume is directly taken from Preliminary Design for Ethiopia Addis Ababa E-W &amp;amp; S-N(Phase I)Light Rail Transit Project&lt;/p&gt;</description>
