Abstract
Cities play a vital role in promoting commercial growth and wealth. The development of cities is mainly based on their social, physical, and institutional infrastructure. In this situation, the significance of urban transportation is dominant. Urban area transportation is a common public bus service and is mostly used to transport many people in urban areas. In this paper, a survey on important parameters for improving the UBTS is reviewed. At first, the article reviewed the flow of passenger prediction based on the UBTS. Here, the UBTS issues like the prediction of passenger flow, fleet size, passenger comfort perception, delay, driver's behaviour, sound level, vehicle breakdowns, and so on are reviewed. To overcome these issues, the authors have presented some techniques and solutions for urban transportation, which are reviewed. A systematic literature review is conducted for the urban transportation system from 2011 until 2021. This survey provides a technical direction for researchers' work, and the potential future aspects have been discussed.

Keywords
UBTS, Passenger Flow, Passenger Comfort Perception, Drivers Behaviours.
