9. Traffic along Haile Sellasie Avenue

10. Transformation – (Short Term)
Decongesting the Urban inner core (diamond border of Ngara, Muthurwa, Haile Selasie Avenue, and Museum Hill)
Provide a circular service as a last mile solution
Transform the Central Station(NCS), to provide transfer function between modes
Reconfigure traffic flow patterns in the Central Business District (CBD)
Provide peripheral Termini Capacity, boarding and alighting points to inbound public Transport Vehicles
Use sports, and institutions’ facilities for park and ride

11. Transformation – Implementation (Medium Term)
Develop stations along BRT Line 2 (Thika Rd), line 5 (Outering Rd), Line 3 (Ngong Rd)
Utilise Commuter Rail Stations (Embakasi, Syokimau, Kimbo,Ruiru) as an integrated system to the Bus and Airport sevice
Commence BRT on line 2, 3 and 5
Establish No Transit days and local distributors within urban core
Reroute traffic to enhance mobility and access
Continue with public participation and implement a comprehensive communication strategy

12. Transformation – Affected (Medium Term)
All affected in the Short Term
Operators along BRT and CR network under medium term implementation
Motorists
Businesses along the corridors
Employees in affiliated commercial ventures
(note positive effects are expected and negative effects will be mitigated)

13. BRT Std Buses Viz Regular Metro BUS
NOTE: BRT is a system of mass movement of people (not the Rolling Stock only).
1. BRT Bus has 2 doors on the right hand side since we shall be using stations in the median.
2. BRT bus also has a door on the left hand side for use at Kerb side on-boarding and in mix use traffic
3. Size of the BRT bus door is 1,100mm while metro bus is normally 600mm
4. Driver controlled doors (safety)
5. The size of the gangway differs significantly. This allows for more passengers to stand, and for passengers to embark and disembark.
6. At level boarding. BRT bus has no steps (auto Ramps or Driver Controlled)

14. BRT Std Buses Viz Regular Metro BUS
7. Universal access. Allows for wheel chairs to be used to board the bus. It also has a wheel chair dedicated seat. It also has sitting priority seating for elderly, sick and pregnant mothers.
8. Is fitted with APTMS and UTS systems. UTS is key to allow for buses to have priorities at signalized junctions in case they are running late. I APTMS is useful for passengers as it communicates with them inside the bus and at stations. APTMS also allows for driver to communicate with the command center.
9. Fuel efficient. Our specs are Euro 4 diesel minimum standards. The future is to go hydrogen and electric
10. Engine performance for a BRT bus is often high. This allows for the bus to hit peak speed faster

15. BRT Std Buses Viz Regular Metro BUS
11. The body is designed using stainless steel frame. This is because it’s light, it doesn’t rust and absorbs weight in the event of an accident impact. It also lasts longer giving the bus a life of years.
The BRT bus has a rollover cage structure, which protects passengers in case of an accident. The rollover cage ensures that the bus structure does not collapse.
The BRT bus’s body is designed with a view that majority of passengers will be standing.

16. BRT Std Buses Viz Regular Metro BUS Contd'
12. Runs on a dedicated corridor
13. It is designed to run a scheduled service
14. Easier Boarding and alighting.
15. Either low floor low entry bus or high floor bus. High floor requires a platform low floor doesn't
16. BRT buses are designed to last up to 25 years. The body should last for at least years.
17. Most right had BRT bus chassis are made in Brazil but are normally locally assembled. 

17. NOTE
BRT systems typically feature significant investment in enclosed stations which may incorporate attractive sliding glass doors, staffed ticket booths, information booths, and other more standard features listed above.
They will often include level boarding, using either Low-Floor Buses or higher boarding platforms level, and multiple doors to speed passenger boarding and enhance accessibility to disabled passengers.
