Bus Rapid Transit:
How Delhi Compares
![Page 2: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Delhi BRT
Modern Low Floor CNG Buses are a big improvement: Lower Particulate emissions than TransMilenio

Grade “A” Cycling Facilities Bike flows at peak are as high as 1200, highest in
world after China
![Page 4: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Grade “A” Pedestrian Facilities set a new high standard for BRT
![Page 5: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
At grade pedestrian crossing is fine and Normal
![Page 6: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Central lane bus configuration is NORMAL and critical to increasing speeds
Lanes of mixed traffic
Bus express lane
Achieving high capacities with express lanes

The QUINTESSENTIAL BRT: Quito EcoVia Line

Central lane BRT ends conflicts with bikes and peds
Delhi BRT Corridor before BRT

Bike lane and central buslane configuration ends bus –bike conflict

Issues; Delhi HCBS allows Non-BRT Buses in the Buslane,
many DETERIORATED BUSES: frequent stalls and breakdowns
Only newer buses regulated by DIMTS and meeting quality standard and maintenance should be allowed
![Page 11: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Non-BRT Buses interrupt the planned function of the BRT station

Station Comfort is only FAIR

TransMilenio feels like a metro station
![Page 16: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
TransMilenio is as comfortable as a metro station

Station configuration creates very wild weaving motions at intersections contributing to accidents
![Page 18: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Bus speed slow, Mixed traffic speeds deteriorated
Line Speed KPH Ridership (passengers / hour /
direction)
Impact on Mixed Traffic
Bogotá TransMilenio 29 42,000 Improved a lot
São Paulo 9 de julho 12 34,910 Improved some
Porto Alegre Assis Brasil

Belo Horizonte Cristiano Machado

Delhi 13 12,000 Deteriorated Significantly
Curitiba Eixo Sul 21 10,640 N.A.
Mexico City Metrobus 21 8500 Deteriorated a little
Quito EcoVia 18 10,200 Improved significantly
TransJakarta 18 4500 Deteriorated significantly
Beijing 15 7500 No effect, new road

Bus speeds are slow because buses cue at the station OR the intersection
Sao Paulo only 12kph because of bus cueing at station
They need passing lanes and route reconfiguration, and to increase boarding speed.
![Page 22: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Taipei BRT has similar bus cueing problem to Delhi

Delhi Bus speeds slow because of junction/bus station interference
![Page 24: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Delhi BRT is getting 13 buses/direction through the junction on one cycle only because passengers are boarding up the road off the platform. This is the
cause of pedestrian danger, NOT the at grade crossing
![Page 25: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
JUNCTION DESIGN INITIAL CONCEPT
![Page 26: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

TransJakarta Jammed the Corridor Also, but for different reasons.
80% of Old buses remained in mixed traffic lanes
![Page 28: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Junction conflict with BRT station and turning movements are the cause of mixed traffic delay.
Six signal phases, each six minutes.
TransMilenio is three phases, three minutes max
![Page 29: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Space for BRT system (stations and runways)
Space for mixed traffic (roadway)
![Page 30: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Seoul stations have one long platform, one passing lane (consumes 3 rather than Delhi’s 4 lanes), and
are far from the junction, allowing more mixed traffic turning lanes at the junction
Seoul, Korea’s BRT stations are mid-block, to allow space for left turn lanes
![Page 31: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

JUNCTION DESIGN Fewer lanes to cross to reach BRT station
Median Station allows for easy transfers
More space for mixed traffic at intersection
Synchronized signals for safe pedestrian crossing

Delhi has six phase junctions, TransMilenio has 2 or 3 phases
![Page 34: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What Can Delhi do now? Making Right Turning and left turning buses enter
mixed traffic lanes would eliminate 2 signal phases
![Page 35: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Simplifying the routing structure simplifies the signal phases

No turning routes simplifies intersection the most
![Page 37: Bus Rapid Transit: How Delhi Compares](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/62a1424ab731124921360e47/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Some turns allowed: a compromise between directness of routing and intersection simplicity
