Adelaide’s transport

Twenty minute city

Reasons:

With a well-defined city layout

Wide multiple-lane roads from the beginning of its development

The “20-minute city “ no more

National transports analyst Austroads:

-Adelaide's morning traffic crush had increased by 30 per cent since 1997/98

-Adelaide rush hour holds up motorists by 44 seconds for every kilometres travelled compared to 33secs/km in 1997/98.

HOW MUCH TIME WASTE ?

For an average motorist driving 15km to work daily:

-A day : 15km X 44seconds = 11 minutes-A week: 15km X 44seconds X 5 days= 55 minutes-An annually: 15km X 44seconds X 365 days= 48 hours

Transport crisis in future

How to get to the workplace? The horrific truth is that today’scrisis scenario just a beginning."Australian city congestion levels are increasing and are estimated to increase dramatically by 2015.

How to recover 20-minute city

Government Policies

80 new buses• Upgraded O-Bahn interchanges• Electrified• New tram lines• Investing 125 million in the AusLink network

• Encourage people to walk and cycle to destinations

• Maximise accessibility to and use of the public transport system

Premier.sa.gov.au Budget 2008

Successful Examples

• Los Angeles : employee parking cash-out, reducing car commuting by 25%

• London : extensive congestion road tax, has fallen by about 20%

• California : raise the gas tax in a "revenue neutral" manner

• Singapore : electronic road pricing• Brazil, Beijing: BRT system, “Bus Rapid Transit”

http://moderntransit.org/solution.htmlhttp://www.vtpi.org/tdm/tdm120.htm

Congestion can be reduced by either increasing road capacity, or by reducing

traffic

Increasing road capacity• Adding more capacity at

bottlenecks • Adding more capacity

over the whole of a route

• Creating new routes

Construction of road

• Use large capacity transport

• Develop public transport

Reducing traffic• Road pricing• employee parking

cash-out• extensive congestion

road tax• raise the gas tax• electronic road pricing• Increasing of oil cost

The optimal way –

Public transport

• Increasing road capacity “The general nature of this problem has been evident to those dealing with

congestion aspect of transportation capacity.”

Use public transport “Huge efficiency gains could be achieved by allocating segregated lanes for buses

and trams, Massive investment is also needed to improve the frequency and connectedness of bus, train and tram services in order to increase the capacity and effectiveness of these modes. “

"Significant effort is going into maximizing the performance of the existing traffic system”

Bus Rapid TransitO-Bahn

Grade-separated right-of-wayFrequent, high-capacity service High-quality vehicles, that are easy to board, quiet, clean and comfortable to rideHigh quality bus stationspeeds up to 100km/h.Compared with equivalent rail systems, the O-Bahn is almost 50 percent cheaper

Why 80% of people do not us PT in Adelaide?

Private Car

• Cars have become more comfortable, reliable, safer with power steering, air conditioning, cell phones and advanced audio equipment.

Public Transport

• Poor service offered • Need wait for 15-30

minutes• No transport priorities• transport system is

ageing and neglected

solutions

Advice

• Encourage some companies to stagger their opening and

closing times to avoid the park rush hours.

Experiment user-pays system of road charges to

improve efficiency on the north-south corridor.

Investment

• development around selected high-service public transport routes

• Improve on public survice.• Let people easy to get to bus

stop.• Adding public transport go-

zonein activity center. reduce people’s waiting time

Detail of solution

If public become more comfort and convenience than private cars, why people do not choose it?

Compare with flowing public lane , encourage people who driving carsOn the congested to give up private cars.
