1.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The aim of the study is to investigate into the operation of different transport agencies in Kwara State.
The objectives are:
- To know the rate of changes in cost of travelling operation
- To increas
- To determine their effect on economic of the state
1.3 JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM
It is amongst earlier studies on accessibility in relation to property values that profitability and utility are determined by accessibility. The greater the accessibility of a location the greater the comparative advantage, and the greater the comparative advantages the greater the demand for property at the location. Lean and Good all (1977), for instance, stated that urban areas naturally develop at nodal points in the transport network and those locations with good transport access to other areas have relative advantage over locations with poorer transport facilities and that urban locations having such relative advantages are likely to be where transport routes converge. Similarly, Estate Surveyors/Valuers and Planners believe that accessibility has great impacts on property values, with properties along major roads and at nodal points having greater values (Ogunsanya, 1986; Oduwaye, 2004; Omoogun, 2006).
However, accessibility discussed in these studies was based on intuition without empirical basis to justify what relative accessibility advantages the locations have.
This study borrows techniques found useful in other fields like operational research, geography, transportation and urban planning to explain and analyze road network for purpose of determining the relative accessibility of each of the arterial roads. It is believed that the techniques used in these fields can be extended to studies in estate management, thereby making cross-fertilization of research ideas across various fields possible. In this regard, this research has become relevant in determining the relationship between arterial road network and values of commercial properties in Ilorin. In addition, it is essential to establish a technique that may be useful for determining relative accessibility of locations in the network of arterial roads. Even when relative advantages are determined, there is need to develop models that will be useful for predicting commercial property values in Nigeria.
1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This study mainly focused on the factors influencing vehicle operation cost for Kwara express, emirates, young legacy and Kasmag in Kwara state.
1.5 DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA OF STUDY
This project is based on Ilorin metropolis, where Emirate Transport Service is located at Amilegbe area, Young Legacy and Kasmag were located at abdulwahab folawiyo road in unity area in Ilorin South, Local Government while kwara express is located at offa garage area..
1.6 METHODOLOGY
The method involved in this project is personal interview by enumerator and administrator of questionnaire to the people around emirates, young legacy, Kasmag and Kwara express Park. Based on answer provided by respondents, the data collected will be used for the analysis of operation cost.

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 6 ]There is considerable variation in costs depending on vehicle its use. An old but reliable, uninsured automobile may cost only a few hundred dollars a year, while an expensive vehicle can cost ten times as much. Walking, cycling and transit incremental cost also very depending on the situation and perspective.2.2 TRIP PURPOSEThe private vehicle is the most frequently used mode for every trip purpose but share varies in relation to public transport depending on the reason for travel.
