City of CuritibaIntegrated Bus System
COUNTRY AND CITY
Brazil is a Federative Republic and municipalities have their own autonomy.The local governments are responsible or developing, coordinating and
implementing policies and projects according to the States and Federal laws
related to urban planning, environmental, public transportation, education,
health care, and social services issues.
Curitiba, the capital city o Paran State, located in the South Region o Brazil,
is 315 years old. Situated 905 m above ocean level, the climate is classied
as a moist subtropical type with average temperatures o 19oC in the summer
and 13oC in the winter.
The city is the center o a metropolitan region encompassing 26 municipalities
totaling 3.2 million inhabitants. Only in the city boundaries, 1.8 million people
are living. The urbanization process in Curitiba and in the Metropolitan Region
o Curitiba ollowed the Brazilian pattern with an intense population growth
in the 70s and 80s decades as result o the rural-urban migrations.

Curitiba is an important cultural, political and economic center.Comprising a comprehensive inrastructure, Curitiba and its
Metropolitan Region have a wide range o spaces and acilities, such
as an international airport, modern convention centers, shopping
centers, a diversied gastronomy, a broad hotel inrastructure,
a variety o retail areas, outstanding leisure spaces, a network o public
parks and woods, museums and theaters. In addition, Curitiba is reerenceas regards education and health care, counting on with 4 universities such
as the Federal University o Paran, the oldest Brazilian university and a number
o hospitals, including 3 University-Hospitals.
The Service Sector is responsible or 65% o ormal jobs in Curitiba, ollowed
by the Commerce Sector with 18% and Manuacturing Industry with 17%
o total employment.
Curitiba is worldwide known as a city planning model in Brazil with over 40 years
o urban planning experience.
The city is adhered to the integration among the urban unctions as an induction
principle or urban growth. Land Use or the city space arrangement is linkedto the Road System prioritizing the Public Bus System over the individualtransportation, valuing the city space addressed to the pedestrian. The city relieson the countrys most ecient public transit system. In addition to these guidelines,
the city growth is also oriented by its social, environmental and economic policies.

Reasons for Self-Recommendation
The case City o Curitiba Integrated Bus System is a best practice exampleo how integration o public transit with urban planning, without losing sight
o environment concepts, has born ruits.
The case oers opportunity to understand the processes o change in Curitiba
that led to a sustainable urban development.
The revolution began in the 60s when the City and its citizens tried to answer
two important questions: which is the city vocation and where does it lead to.
As an answer to those two questions, the 1943 Master Plan which envisioned,permitted and induced the city growth rom the center to the outlying
neighborhoods, in a radial pattern, in evermore all-embracing circles,
was substituted by the new 1966 Master Plan.
In opposition to the circularly conceived city, where the main thoroughares
and itineraries led always rom the center to the periphery and vice-versa
and the public transit was thought as something subsidiary to the car,
the 1966 Master Plan broke away radically and irreversibly the citys radialgrowth pattern and embraced the idea to change the model o urban expansion
into a linear growth.

To do this the new Master Plan aimed at setting up a system o structuralarteries intended to oster the citys growth called Structural Axes. These axeswould provide new areas or high density housing, medium-sized business
and services and allow the setting up o a mass public transit system that
would not only grow with the demand but i necessary it would induce it.
The mass public transit should be conceived not as a collection o separatelines, but as a System. Instead o the car, the mass public transit system andthe land use laws would lead the urban growth and create a new urban
landscape in Curitiba.
The rst axis to be implemented, the North-South, should be 60 meters wide
along its 20 kilometers o length. It implied in high costs o expropriations
or which no unds were available. To solve the problem o the axis width
the hypothesis the Trinary System of Roads, a three-road system, was raised.
09.

8/14/2019 Case Onibus Final

The idea was to divide the trac into three roads using already existing moreor less external parallel streets, one on each side o the main thoroughare
already existing and now considered a structural artery. This consisted basically
o a central road and two a one-way road on its either side. The central road
was divided into 3 sections, two sections with a one-way street or local tracand parking and a central two-way street dedicated or buses in the center.
The external roads were meant or continuous trac fow in and out downtown
area. The continuity o the three external parallel streets was ensured through
small expropriations at a very low cost.
In a time o cheap uel, Curitiba decided to base its development not on road
thinking, not on car, but on a public transportation development, avoiding also
costly solutions by the use o bus system.
It was a beginning o a transportation and environmental revolution. All todays
political concern over CO2 emissions was really addressed and with the
introduction o biouel in the near uture, the emissions will be dramatically
decreased.

The 1966 Master Plan also call or preservation o green areas that alreadyexisted. Among them the Iguau Park, one out o a nowadays existing network
o over 30 Parks and Woods. The Iguau is a river that is born in Curitiba
and attracts millions o tourists to its world renowned alls. The idea o thoseparks would be nothing more than the preservation o the areas along
riverbanks subject to fooding, giving back to river what belongs to it.
During 42 years, Curitiba steadily pursued its objectives and built step by step
o its Integrated Bus System and its environmental preservation.
The Green Line, the new development axis currently under construction,integrating public transit, land use readjustments and a 22 km Linear Park
is the most recent materialization o Curitibas development vision.
Sel-recommendation o the case o the City o Curitiba Integrated BusSystem as a model - as already shown - is based in real acts that demonstratethat very good results can be achieved by small steps and political will.

Brieng of The Recommended Case
1. BACKGROUND OF THE CASE
In the early sixties, at an era o extremely cheap oil and at a moment whenBrazil was implementing its own automobile industry, thus geometrically rising
the domestic supply o cars, and when Curitiba was beginning to ace
accelerated demographic growth - to be accentuated in the 70s and 80s -
and the consequent disorganization o some urban unctions, the pressures
on the citys inrastructure became insurmountable.
It became clear that the 1943 Master Plan, due to its vision and the coststo be incurred or its implementation, could not address the situation.
A turning point occurred during the debate over a large overpass that the
States Development Company reused to nance oering instead unds thatwould enable a new Master Plan or Curitiba to be drawn up.
By 1966 the new Master Plan was ready and ater a public consultation, ocially
in eect. The 1966 Master Plan reversed completely the 1943 Master Planand proposed the linear growth and structural arteries - the Structural Axes -that would concentrate population and services according to the directives
o the new land use regulations established by the Plan. So along the StructuralAxes there would be a maximum density that should decrease with the distanceo the axes. Thus, the remaining zones have been designed with decreasing
densities rom those axes, which constituted the basis or structuring the city.
That enabled the city to maximize investments and reduce inrastructure costs.
The downtown core area that concentrated cultural and religious establishments
would be protected and the commerce and the services would be decentralized
along these Structural Axes and special streets named Collector Roads whereretail and services were also located to serve citizens in their own neighborhoods,
avoiding unnecessary trips.

17/40
This arrangement would provide density to an ecient mass public transportnotwithstanding the act that the public transportation in many occasions
could be used to induce desirable land occupation.
A hierarchy o city streets was also proposed by the Plan. The Structural Axeswere connected to the neighborhoods trough Collector Roads and othercomplementary roads.
16.
-
8/14/2019 Case Onibus Final
18/40
With all these major changes, the new vision o public transportation as a Systemwas developed and the bus was chosen as the modal avoiding expensive solutions.
Other than getting decongested the city center, revitalizing its historical district
and giving priority to pedestrians, creating new parks and preserving its green
areas, the new Master Plan also brought on economic changes. Until the endo the 1960s, the municipal economy was locally-oriented and incipient, ocused
on commerce and services. The 1966 Master Plan gave rise to its industrializationprocess by setting aside an area to the West o the city or industrial uses.
The 1966 Master Plan has also recommended the creation o an institution thatshould monitor and detail its implementation.
Thus, the Institute or Research and Urban Planning o Curitiba (IPPUC) was
created. IPPUC is a municipal body that was responsible and is until today by
implementing and monitoring the urban planning process or the City o Curitiba.
Its main responsibilities among others are: to implement the measures that are
necessary to improve living conditions or the population; develop and deliver
to the Mayors Oce a drat bill establishing the urban plan; develop studies
and research or the citys integral planning development; analyze and propose
legislation and administrative measures that may be representative or thedevelopment o the city.

2. PERFORMANCE OF THE CASE
Ater the approval o the 1966 Master Plan, IPPUC began the detailing oits basic guidelines that encompass seven sections, dealing with road system,
zoning, land subdivisions, urban renovation, preservation and revitalization
o historical areas, green areas and building code.
For the rst time in the history o Curitiba, urban planning and its application
were based on the tripod: Land Use, Road System and Public Transportationdeveloped together.
During the 1966-70 period the plan o the Central Slow Trafc ring to protectthe central area and the Structural Sector Project were detailed. The StructuralSector was composed by the Trinary System, a corridor o buses only, sidedby slow trac roadways, and two parallel streets or ast trac.
In 1971 began the implementation o the plan, rst with implantation o theFlower Street Pedestrian Area, the rst in the country. Notwithstanding otheruses, the transormation o the most important downtown street into
a pedestrian area was symbolic to signalize the start o great transormations
in the city, demonstrating clearly the priority o the people over the car.

During the 1971-74, the creation o great parks, woods and massive street treeplanting was initiated having as outcome the todays ratio o 50m o green area
per inhabitant transorming Curitiba in a bio-city.
In 1974 the Express Bus - a new model designed to operate in the axis, withcapacity to transport 100 passengers - begins to operate in the North-South
Axis, a 20 km long axis. The city had approximately 700.000 inhabitants and
all bus lines, including the new North-South Axis line were transporting 500.000
passengers per day.
From 1974 till now, 34 years span o time, Curitibaabode to its public transportation guidelines. As a resultthe Integrated Bus System transports 2.2 millionpassengers per day in a city with 1.8 million inhabitants.
The main line, the North-South Axis itsel transports
420.000 passengers per day.
All this development was done step by step through
rather simple measures compatible with the nancial
possibilities o the city.
There were too much small steps to be described
in this document, but there are some points in the
trajectory o development o the Integrated BusSystem that deserve to be indicated.

In 1975 twelve Feeder Bus lines were physically integrated to the North-SouthAxis in their two Bus Terminals, thus beginning the integration process. At that
time 14% o the whole system was integrated.

In 1977 the Boqueiro Axis, with two Bus Terminalsand 10.6 km long was inaugurated.
In 1979 the rst Circle Line connecting the HauerBus Terminal, located on the Boqueiro Axis,
to the Capo Raso and Cabral Bus Terminals locatedon the Nor th-South Axis.

1991 - The boarding-on-the-same-level-o-the-busin Integration Stations and in special stations called
Tube Stations was inaugurated. It represented andstill represents one o the most innovative solutions
regarding the bus model. Other than improving the
passenger comort, it enormously reduces the boardingand disembarking time and promotes accessibility
to all citizens. The pre-payment o the are that started
being use with the Tube Station was very importantto the process as well.
In 1980 the East and West Axes with its 22 km long were inaugurated.The Integrated Transportation Network - RIT was set up allowing the areand physical integration involving several types o bus services and the possibility
o making several itineraries with the payment o a single are. The passenger
paying one are can use the all system changing the busses at the Bus Terminals.
The new, Articulated Bus with capacity o transporting 160 passengers entered
in operation in the Express Lines o Boqueiro Axis.
1981 - 84 - Construction o 15 new Bus Terminals on the ve axes.
1984 - As the beginning o the streamlining o the whole transportation system,185 bus lines were reduced to 14 Express Lines and 54 Feeder Lines. At this time
55% o the public transportation was already integrated.

3. EFECTIVENESS OF THE CASE
Other than saving an enormous amount o money to nance the constructiono broad avenues and avoid unnecessarily and destructive urban surgery and
the use o expensive modals, the implementation o the Integrated Bus System
has been o paramount consequences to the city.
The System acted eectively as a spear-head or the city development byinducing the land occupation and creating a new urban pattern with a unique
urban landscape.
Integrations at the Bus Terminals combined with the same are allowing
the total use o the system guarantee the ull accessibility to all urban areas.
From this stand point Curitiba, today, maybe described as an Open City,
once people can reach everywhere by bus.
Another outcome rom the Integrated Bus System is the decentralizationo the location o jobs and services.
29.
-
8/14/2019 Case Onibus Final
31/40
In 1964, 80% o passengers using public transportation had as destination thecentral area. Recent research on the Nor th-South Axis demonstrates that 55%
o the all passengers destinations was to the South Axis, 26% was to the North
Axis and only 19% was to the central area.
This distribution clearly demonstrates the decentralization o jobs and services
accomplished due to the guidelines provided by the 1966 Master Plan.
Today, existing data demonstrates the most requently modals used by people
living in Curitiba.
As to environmental issues, given the act that 44% o the people interviewed
have car, it is easy to veriy the diminishing o emissions o CO2 due to the
bus-oriented pattern o development, the Integrated Bus System o Curitiba.
The new transportation operation measures in study overlapping and
in implementation - the Green Line should also contribute to reduce evenmore the emissions on the South Axis by 40.9 tons per year.

The Value of The Case in The FutureUrban mobility and accessibility in the ast growing cities all over the worldis one o the most important issues regarding urban development. Urban tracproblems are common not only in large cities but also in medium and even
in small cities.
The case demonstrates that:
The concept and implementation methodology of the
case presented was tested by real use and approved.
It is not necessary to do everything at the same time,a System can be implemented step by step.
In order to implement a System this way strong political
will and commitment are essential over the time.
The solutions adopted may be innovative but should
seek simplicity and easibility.
Integration between land use, road system and
transportation must be pursued.
Solutions should consider the built and the natural
environment. The notion o development should
be strongly linked to the notion o preservation.
Even adopting a traditional solution, the bus, the less
expensive o a wide range o transportation mass
modals, when used with creative operational solutions
can be extremely ecient.
Citizens should be involved early in the process
in order to support the actions in the uture and
be proud o the System.

Case Master PlanThe Curitibas Pavilion, a light poliedric metal structure, with 220 m2 will bebuilt in an area o 600 to 800 m2. The exposition area will be a continuous
space excepted by a small auditorium or 20 to 30 people. The Pavilion will
be surrounded by a garden designed by a landscape architect and two totemsto indicate its entrance. At night media projections will be made on the external
walls o the Pavilion.
The exposition o the Case of Curitiba Integrated Bus System is beingconceived to meet two types o visitors: the general public and the mayors,
managers and transportation specialists rom the Chinese and other cities
in the world. It isthe reason why the Curitibas Pavilion will have two distinct
areas. The multimedia area to show and explain to the visitors the Concept,the Beginning, the Evolution and the Future o the Curitibas System o PublicTransportation that along the last 43 years has been a model to many cities.
The other area, the auditorium, or meetings and presentations with
simultaneous translations to municipal representatives that would like
to learn more about the System.
