Urban trains, as one of the most important public vehicles in cities, are related to traffic and environmental issues. To improve the efficiency of these systems, it is necessary to examine and prioritize the factors affecting their efficiency. This article tries to identify and prioritize the important factors affecting the efficiency of urban trains. In this article, the factors affecting the efficiency of urban trains are first examined, which include important aspects such as time interval, time wastage, safety, energy consumption, number of trains, management and planning, and passenger satisfaction; Then, by using case studies and data analysis collected from Tehran, the factors that have the greatest impact on efficiency are prioritized. The results show that in different conditions, different factors can have priority. In the end, recommendations for improving the efficiency of urban trains are presented, which can be effective as practical solutions for urban officials, public transport managers, and policymakers to improve the performance of urban train systems.
