DEVELOPMENT CORRIDORS INTEGRATION OF LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
CAPITAL AREA 2040 REGIONAL PLAN Development directed towards urban centres and transit oriented development areas. Proportion of residential housing in these areas should rise from 30% to 66% in 2040. A new high-quality public-transport system called Borgarlína will play an important role, linking together the region s urban centres and key growth areas.

NEW MOBILITY OPTIONS
NEW MOBILITY OPTIONS PUBLICTRANSPORT Capital Area: Bus Network with 27 routes. Bus service increased by 35% with increased frequency on key routes and longer operational hours in 2012. 15 minute frequency during peak hours. Route 1 has a 10 minute frequency during peak hours, route 6 has a 15 minute frequency throughout the day.
NEW MOBILITY OPTIONS PUBLICTRANSPORT Bus priority lanes in 19 critical locations ( total length 3,8 km) ITS installed at signalized intersections in 2016 and 2017 will give buses extended green time at 30 intersections in Reykjavík (20% of signalized intersections). In 2018, bus operation hours to be extended by an hour (to 1 AM) on weekdays and route 6 will run with 10 minutes headways during peak hours (like route 1).
NEW MOBILITY OPTIONS PUBLICTRANSPORT Borgarlína linking together the capital area urban centres and key growth areas. The proposed Borgarlína, a gold standard bus rapid transit system, will travel in dedicated lanes with a 7 minute frequency during the day. Stations will have a raised platform for level boarding, real time information, off-board fare payment equipment and quality bicycle storage to encourage first/last mile biking. Speed & Reliability Dedicated lanes & Signal Priority BORGARLÍNA Highquality stations Vehicles will run on electricity and offer multi-door access. Light rail upgrade possible in the future if needed. Frequency & Capacity Identity
NEW MOBILITY OPTIONS PUBLICTRANSPORT The current bus network will be optimized and adapted to the Borgarlína high-quality system, creating a two layer coherent public transport network with seamless connections for the whole area.
BORGARLÍNA CORRIDORS
BORGARLÍNA ALIGNMENT ANALYSIS
BORGARLÍNA MULTI CRITERIA ANALYSIS A comprehensive multi-criteria analysis (MCA) of possible Borgarlína alignments completed in the summer of 2017.
BORGARLÍNA MULTI CRITERIA ANALYSIS Based on the MCA, seven alignments are recommended and are now being included in a Capital Area Regional Plan revision. In 2040 approx. 55% of the population in the area will live within a 400 m radius from stations in the proposed 58 km network. Following further analysis the final Borgarlína alignments within Reykjavik are scheduled to be adopted in the Reykjavik Municipal Plan.
