Emergence of Bus Based Transit
� In almost every case, bus can do the job as well as rail
� BRT offers multiple investment advantages:� Significantly cheaper than rail-based alternatives
� A BRT network can be implemented for the cost of a single rail-based line – more transportation impact for your money
� The implementation time is much shorter
� BRT can be implemented incrementally
� Tributary lines can join BRT, reduce need for feeders, interchange
� BRT systems can generate operating surpluses
� Barriers to entry are significantly lower:� Facilitates multiple operators
� Facilitates mobilisation of private sector capital and services
� Many cities fail to assess this option properly
![Page 4: Bus Rapid Transit - Spatial Planningspatialplanning.ie/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Future... · 2019-10-13 · Spectrum of Bus-Based Transit High performance, high capacity BRT Major](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041005/5ea9f5c5b5a1c41f7f43d095/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Need to revisit assumptions
� Things became ‘truisms’, but they are no longer true� BRT has become a ‘game changer’
� Actual practice greatly exceeds the textbook ‘limits’
� Transit factors are what count to the customer, not technology
� LRT, Tram and BRT are all proven high quality transit
� In many cases, the needed transportation capacity can be delivered by bus transit at lower cost, quicker� This is taxpayers’ money, no justification to overspend
� Funds could be reallocated to other purposes (e.g. hospitals)
� Incorrect assumptions undermine planning process� Viable solutions ruled out at the option development stage
� Not taken through to full feasibility study
� Not taken through to full alternatives analysis
![Page 5: Bus Rapid Transit - Spatial Planningspatialplanning.ie/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Future... · 2019-10-13 · Spectrum of Bus-Based Transit High performance, high capacity BRT Major](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041005/5ea9f5c5b5a1c41f7f43d095/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Buses can deliver needed capacity
� The major BRT systems have very high capacity� Bogota’s Transmillenio carries 45,000 passengers per hour, per
direction – more than most metro lines
� Istanbul’s Metrobus carries almost 900,000 px/day – more than Dublin Bus, DART, LUAS and Metro North combined
� Guangzhou BRT carries >800,000 px/day
� Many BRT systems operate at light railway capacity, exceeding urban LRT/tramway capacity� Mexico city, Ottowa, Lagos > 200,000 px/day
� Many BHLS systems match street-tramway capacity
� Ridership on many rail systems turns out to be far short of initial planning forecasts, design capacity
![Page 6: Bus Rapid Transit - Spatial Planningspatialplanning.ie/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Future... · 2019-10-13 · Spectrum of Bus-Based Transit High performance, high capacity BRT Major](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041005/5ea9f5c5b5a1c41f7f43d095/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
BRT is more than tram on tyres
� BRT is a different mode, different characteristics� BRT can indeed be designed in the same style as tram …
� …but then it does not exploit the characteristics of bus
� BRT is a ‘service plan’ availing of the infrastructure� Route system rather than end-to-end services
� Routes can join/leave the running way, reducing the need for passenger transfer (and less need for big interchange stations)
� Options for express, limited stop, and premium services
� Non-BRT buses/routes may also use it non-stop as a ‘channel’
� Business and operator factors are important
� Can be developed incrementally

Car-users will use high-quality bus
� Major ridership gains in BRT in South America, Asia, Australia
� Significant % of new riders in North American and South American BRT come from car
� Major ridership gains in European BHLS (range 20-140%)
� Some mode shift from car in European BHLS
� When of high quality, BRT has high customer perception, matching LRT (e.g. Los Angeles)
� Most research takes standard bus as the comparator
� Growing body of research that transit characteristics are what matter to the user (speed, reliability, comfort)
![Page 8: Bus Rapid Transit - Spatial Planningspatialplanning.ie/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Future... · 2019-10-13 · Spectrum of Bus-Based Transit High performance, high capacity BRT Major](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041005/5ea9f5c5b5a1c41f7f43d095/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Bus systems can enhance land-value
� Metro, commuter rail and tram have proven impact on land-value, development, and property prices/rents
� Research on bus transit has been minimal …
� … but, absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence
� In Europe, bus transit projects are below investment thresholds requiring full post-delivery appraisal
� BRT is a new mode, evidence is beginning to emerge: � In Cleveland, $4.3 billion investment along the busway
� In Pittsburgh, $800 million investment along the busway
� In Seoul, significant value increase in property value on BRT
� In Curitiba, the BRT lines have shaped the city
� Some BRT/BHLS focus on improving urban-scape

What is BHLS?
� BHLS?� Derives from French term ‘BHNS’, maybe later another name
� Generic term for a wide range of quality bus systems
� Is it BRT?� Not exactly, a different product in the spectrum of bus priority
� Focus more on reliability/quality than on speed/capacity
� Holistic approach� Improved operating environment – reliability, better speed
� Higher quality vehicles with better comfort and image
� Improved passenger facilities – stops, terminals, ...
� Branding, marketing, ‘repositioning the product’
![Page 14: Bus Rapid Transit - Spatial Planningspatialplanning.ie/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Future... · 2019-10-13 · Spectrum of Bus-Based Transit High performance, high capacity BRT Major](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041005/5ea9f5c5b5a1c41f7f43d095/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
BHLS role in Europe
� European Context is different:
� Mass transit is often already well provided by metro and tram
� Bus is rarely assigned the ‘mass transit’ role
� Constraints of space, roadwidth and alignment in city centres
� European cities have a different focus:
� Restore reliability and operational effectiveness to bus
� Enhance image of bus, reposition the product
� High focus on quality of vehicles and stopping places
� In France, focus on “urbanism” – improve host environment
� Strategic motivations for BHLS
� Mostly to upgrade quality and ridership of existing bus lines
� Sometimes alternative to tram/LRT, especially if finances tight

Reflection Point
� Bus transit is a viable option in almost all cases
� It is not inherently better nor inherently inferior to rail-based transit – each has its strengths
� Each city needs to assess the options on their merits, for that city, according to its goals� For some cities or corridors, Metro, LRT or tram will best meet the goals and constraints
� For other cities or corridors, BRT or BHLS is the better fit
� BRT should never be eliminated at the options generation stage� As the lower cost mode, it should be the default option
![Page 18: Bus Rapid Transit - Spatial Planningspatialplanning.ie/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Future... · 2019-10-13 · Spectrum of Bus-Based Transit High performance, high capacity BRT Major](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041005/5ea9f5c5b5a1c41f7f43d095/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Specific points for Ireland
� A bus-based network can be developed for the cost of a single LRT line, rolled-out quickly� BRT/BHLS can connect the city, not just the corridor
� Study groundwork has already been done� Dun Laoghaire, Cork, Galway, Limerick, (Metro West?)
� NAMA has control of a significant land stock� Idle or underutilised property, development land
� BRT could stimulate development, NAMA could direct it
� Value-capture mechanisms could part-finance BRT/BHLS
� Dublin urgently needs orbital transit routes
� Merger of RPA/NRA combines skills and powers
