BUS RAPID TRANSIT (AS PART OF ENHANCED SERVICE PROVISION) Workshop 2 1

Findings -Cities urgently need mobility improvements. -These improvements must meet the door to door connectivity. -BRT must be conceived as part of a multimodal mobility system. -All dimensions should be considered -institutional, financial, operational, etc. -Successful examples are vital as inspiration, but need to be customized. -BRT transition and implementation may be difficult - too many agents -BRT has been often asked to solve too many problems and pick-up several bills -BRT projects tend to be scaled down to a point their impact is shrunk

Findings -To address the mobility challenge using BRT, we need to understand: -Transportation needs -Policy objectives for BRT implementation -That context matters implying constraints and opportunities to the process -Institution, urban, social, cultural, economic, political, timing -BRT needs to win the heart of the citizens -Desirable ingredients for success -National transit policy and guidelines -Political leadership and support -Institutional framework -Stakeholder buy-in -Technical, legal, financial capacities (good process and project design and implementation) -Adequate level of funding (including possible subsidies)

Findings -The BRT concept is flexible and can be adapted to a wide variety of contexts. -Capacity can reach over 45,000 pphpd – passing lanes, large stations -Simulation shows capacities of up to 15,000 pphpd on a single lane. -Stations usually become bottlenecks first -Stations and intersections need to be properly engineered -Express services are crucial to improve capacity! They also improve quality of the travel experience and reduce costs

7 Guangzhou, China

Findings -Headway control is crucial in the performance in terms of waiting time, travel time, reliability and comfort. -Lack of control puts pressure on the authority for buying more buses. -Leapfrogging is not needed – easy, safe operation -Opportunity for ITS to be used in the most productive way to improve performance. -There is much to lose if some elements are not in place!

Findings -Capital investments requirements for BRT are significantly lower than rail-based modes -Equivalent high quality BRT is a third cheaper than light rail to build (e.g.: Reading, UK) -BRT allows for staged conversion and could be less vulnerable to funding issues than ‘all or nothing’ LRT -Emissions are similar if advanced BRT vehicles are used (CO2 very similar, NOx higher for BRT, particulates lower) -Very high quality BRT can attract demand at a commercial fare (e.g.: Cambridge, UK)

Findings -BRT is leaving its pioneering phase and needs some more formalization within our institutions and policies.

Research questions How effective is BRT in affecting car or motorcycle use or ownership? What policies can boost its effectiveness? What roles can para-transit play in a BRT-based transit network? Can we have a hybrid system? Can we formalize this sector without the need of BRT projects? Safety design and operational guidance is needed for BRT operation and infrastructure (e.g. buses transporting standees, interaction with pedestrians, etc.). How does system design affect universal accessibility? We need to understand better the needs of different user groups (children, elderly and women)

Research questions What is the interaction between BRT and land use densification? Evidence needs to be gathered regarding BRT economic and social impacts. Under which conditions BRT systems can recover all operational costs (with and without vehicles)? At what tariff? How does it compare with the modes BRT replaces? Are subsidies required (magnitude, focus)? Is market segmentation applicable (e.g. A/C, seat)? Is it desirable? What capacities are needed for the implementation agency? When is a trunk and feeder system preferable to one based on direct service? How complicated networks and services explained to a user?
