2 OUTLINE Aim and Objective What is BRT? Why BRT? BRT as High Performance Transit BRT Operations in Selected Developing Cities Peshawar Existing Traffic Condition BRT in Peshawar City Expected Benefits of Peshawar BRT Conclusion 2

3 AIM AND OBJECTIVE Need of BRT Importance of BRT Concepts and opportunities of BRT 3

4 What is BRT? It is a transit system that facilitates comfortable, fast and cost-effective urban mobility through the provision of segregated ROW infrastructure, excellence in marketing and customer service and rapid. 4

5 Why BRT? Increase public transport travel speed Saving travel time Comfortable and Cost effective mobility It is save and cheap urban mobility Improve public transport conditions 5

6 Rail Based System This system is very expensive in all terms. Bus Rapid Transit System Unless a high-quality Bus Rapid Transit System covers most Destinations. This system is cost effective. 6

7 Four systems for the same cost With the same amount of money can build either one of this 426 km of BRT Corridor 40 Km of Monorail 14 Km of Elevated Rail 7 Km of Underground 7

8 The economics of mass transit BRT: $1-10 million/km Metro: $ m / km Planning and construction time TransMilenio SA BRT : months Metro: 3 30 years 8

9 BRT as High Performance Transit Facilitate a limited-stop, broad array of express and local all-stop services on a single facility. Fairly low operation and maintenance costs. Cost-effective Can operate on freeway medians, streets, arterial structures and underground. Foster economic development, transit and pedestrian friendly design. 9

10 World wide there are 200 dedicated corridors running over 4000km (7000 stations) providing 3000 busses Each day 27mn people (1%) of global urban pop are riding BRT 15 Cities started BRT Operation in cities have BRT under construction 31 starting to plan 10

11 BRT Operations in Selected Developing Cities Curitiba (Brazil) BRT Bogota, Colombia (TransMilenio) Guangzhou, China (CZ BRT) Jakarta, Indonesia BRT Lahore (Metro) BRT 11

12 Curitiba (Brazil) BRT The first BRT system implemented in the world. Began its operation on Serving 12 Numbers of corridor 125 No. of buses 357 No. of stations. 5.6 Million daily ridership Total system length is about 180 Km 12

13 Bogota, Colombia BRT (TransMilenio) The system started operation in Jan, This system serving 12 number of colliders. The system total capacity is above 1.45 million passengers per day. It has almost 144 number of stations. Total system length is about 123 Km. Decreased the average travel time by 32%. 13

14 Before and After implementation of BRT in Bogota Before After 14

15 Guangzhou, China (GZ BRT) The first phase of GZ BRT opened on Feb, ,000 per daily ridership. This system serves only one collider. The system is about 22.5 Km. 78 numbers of stations. Total system length is about 79 Km Decreased the average travel time by 28% 15

16 Guangzhou, China Before and After Before After 16

17 Jakarta BRT, Indonesia (TransJakarta) The first BRT system implemented in Southeast Asia. This system was started operation in Jan, TransJakarta has more than 520 buses. It has the World s longest BRT routes about 183 km. The daily ridership exceeds 360,000 passengers per day. 11 Corridors (till 2012) Flat Fare is about 0.4 $ 17

18 ThaT s a way To get out of Congestion, Example of Jakarta BRT TransJakarta 18

19 Lahore (Metro Bus) BRT Lahore was the first city of Pakistan to implement BRT and stated its that was on Serving for a corridor of about 27.2 Km. 86 No. of buses 27 No. of stations. 90,000 daily ridership. 10 meter width of road track. 19

20 why we need BRT. 20

22 Peshawar Existing Traffic Condition Peshawar marked growth in private transportation and minibuses. Rapid growth of mix and non-motorised vehicles. City lacks proper traffic planning and management plan. Available road space is occupied by rickshaws and animal drawn. 22

23 Peshawar Existing Traffic Condition 23

24 BRT in Peshawar City To Overcome all these issues BRT is coming into our picture because 1. It will reduce travel time 2. It will improve convenience of public transport users, safety and comfort 3. Buses have the priority to move out from congestion easily 4. dependence on private cars would be reduce. 24

25 The Context Proposed five corridors for Peshawar BRT Corridor 1 : Corridor 2 : Rail corridor from Chamkani to Hayatabad or BRT on Rail (Corridor 6) Chamkani to Karhano via GT Road, Sunehri Masjid Road, Sir Syed Ahmed Road & Jamrud Road Corridor 3: Corridor 4: Corridor 5: Warsak Road to Kohat Terminal via Sadar, AK Afridi Road and Kohat Road. Charsadda Road to Bara Road Terminus near Ring Road, via Sadar. Inner City Circular Road & Ring Road 25

26 Proposed Corridors for Peshawar BRT 26

27 Expected Benefits of Peshawar BRT Improve Connectivity Reduce traffic journey time Attract new users from other of modes Improve traffic performance Increases in quality of mobility in city It will set good governance standards for other modes. Improves quality of life in city. Cont.. 27

28 Expected Benefits of Peshawar BRT Enhancement of management. Encourage safety including application of a safety review and protection in the corridor. Pollution reduction. BRT will provide facilitation like pedestrian sidewalks and over bridge/ crossing through the corridor. It will help in improving traffic safety and increasing physical activity. 28

29 Conclusion This study concludes that for the existing problems of Peshawar, Bus Rapid Transit system is considered as best solution. This paper presents a need and importance for the city like Peshawar as it is more costeffective mode and is gaining its popularity worldwide. Cont.. 29

30 Conclusion Evidence shows that BRT ridership growth rate is higher than non-brt modes. Similarly this study explore that fulloperational BRT could offer higher passenger capacity, operation speed and more reliable and comfortable service than a conventional bus. 30
