Running Way options

Dedicated bus road Exclusive road for use of buses

Operate at up to 100 kph (Adelaide, Brisbane)

Median dedicated lanes – centre of the road Usually have physical segregation

Passing lane required for high efficiency Passing lane required for high efficiency

If stations in the centre, probably need dedicated fleet

If lateral stations, can offset to reduce road-take requirements

Lateral dedicated lanes – located at edge of the road May have problem to gain sufficient pavement width

More difficult if many existing roadside uses

What is BHLS?

BHLS? Derives from French term ‘BHNS’, maybe later another name

Generic term for a wide range of quality bus systems

Is it BRT? Not exactly, a different product in the spectrum of bus priority

Focus more on reliability/quality than on speed/capacity Focus more on reliability/quality than on speed/capacity

Holistic approach Improved operating environment – reliability, better speed Improved operating environment reliability, better speed

Higher quality vehicles with better comfort and image

Improved passenger facilities – stops, terminals, ...

Branding, marketing, ‘repositioning the product’

Conclusion

REVISITING SOME ASSUMPTIONSASSUMPTIONS

USEFUL REFERENCES

Buses can deliver needed capacity

The major BRT systems have very high capacityj y y g p y Bogota’s Transmillenio carries 45,000 passengers per hour, per

direction – more than most metro lines Istanbul’s Metrobus carries almost 900,000 px/day – more than 9 , p / y

Dublin Bus, DART, LUAS and Metro North combined Guangzhou BRT carries >800,000 px/day

Many BRT systems operate at light railway capacity, a y sys e s ope a e a g a ay capac y,exceeding urban LRT/tramway capacity Mexico city, Brisbane, Ottowa, Lagos > 200,000 px/day

Many BHLS systems match street tramway capacity Many BHLS systems match street-tramway capacity Ridership on many rail systems turns out to be far

short of initial planning forecasts, design capacity How often were bus-based systems ruled out incorrectly?

BRT can operate at short intervalsBRT can operate at short intervals

Some planners presume a single route, and then p p g ,assume that a low headway cannot be managed

Most BRT systems operate multiple routes: Overlapping routes might not all stop at every station Overlapping routes, might not all stop at every station Individual route headways may be in range 3-20 minutes Multiple loading bays at the stations to maximise throughput

R t /V hi l it b hi h Route/Vehicle capacity can be high: Guangzhou BRT has 28 routes on the main trunk, possible 41 In Seoul, the BRT carries 250 buses per hour, per direction

However, this is a critical point of the BRT design Throughput of vehicles at stations Throughput of passengers at stations Throughput of passengers at stations Throughput of buses at junctions

BRT is more than tram on tyres

BRT is a different mode, different characteristics, BRT can indeed be designed in the same style as tram …

…but then it does not exploit the characteristics of bus

BRT is a ‘service plan’ availing of the infrastructure Route system rather than end-to-end services

Routes can join/leave the running way reducing the need for Routes can join/leave the running way, reducing the need for passenger transfer (and less need for big interchange stations)

Options for express, limited stop, and premium services

Non-BRT buses/routes may also use it non-stop as a ‘channel’

Business and operator factors are important

Can be developed incrementally

Car-users will use high-quality busg q y

Major ridership gains in BRT in South America, Asia, j p g , ,Australia

Significant % of new riders in North American and South American BRT come from carSouth American BRT come from car

Major ridership gains in European BHLS (range 20-140%)

Some mode shift from car in European BHLS When of high quality, BRT has high customer

perception matching LRT (e g Los Angeles) perception, matching LRT (e.g. Los Angeles) ‘Mode constant’ is increasingly shown to be outdated Growing body of research that transit characteristics

are what matter to the user (speed, reliability, comfort)

Bus systems can enhance land-valuey

M t t il d t h i t Metro, commuter rail and tram have proven impact on land-value, development, and property prices/rents

Research on bus transit has been minimal … … but, absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence In Europe, bus transit projects are below investment

th h ld i i f ll t d li i lthresholds requiring full post-delivery appraisal BRT is a new mode, evidence is beginning to emerge: In Cleveland, $4.3 billion investment along the busway, $4 3 g y In Pittsburgh, $800 million investment along the busway In Seoul, significant value increase in property value on BRT In Curitiba, the BRT lines have shaped the city, p y

Some BRT/BHLS focus on improving urban-scape

Summary

BRT and BHLS are established and proven transit modes

In almost all cases, bus can provide the required functionality at affordable cost and in short delivery time

M ti h b h t b i t Many presumptions have been shown to be incorrect Bus transit can achieve significant ridership growth

Bus-based transit can attract car users and achieve modal shift

BRT can stimulate property development and raise land values

BRT experience suggests that it is the attributes of transitthat achieve the results rather than the technology usedthat achieve the results rather than the technology used

A fundamental rethink of the role of bus within the “transportation hierarchy” is required
