1 Introduction1.1 Urban transport problems
Do we deserve these?
Sustainability of urban transport development ???
High operating costs Long construction periodHigh investment costs
1 Introduction1.2 Limited development of rail transit
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is considered as a lower cost rapid transit solution.
Rail-based transit is recognized as a good solution to the growing traffic
congestion problem, but the construction investment and operating deficits have
caused an enormous debt burden on the city.
Cost-effectiveness???

1 Introduction1.5 Research objectives
Research Objectives
The research seeks to shed light on the impact of BRT on land development. By addressing
this question, it is expected to make a contribution in two areas:
1) To better understand whether BRT systems could deliver a high quality service?
2) To examine whether BRT benefits, specifically travel time saving, has influenced land
development around BRT stations.
The proposed work is intended to fulfill the following objectives:
•1) Carry out a comprehensive literature review focused on the impacts of Mass Transit systems
on land development
•2) Conduct a BRT passenger survey to investigate public perception of BRT service.
•3) Conduct interviews with selected stakeholders to identify the possible impact of BRT on land
development
•4) Collect longitudinal data to evaluate the spatial and temporal impacts of Beijing BRT line 1 on
land development
•5) Formulate policy recommendations on future development of BRT.
2 Literature Review2.1 Gaps
BRT has become an efficient mobility solution to traffic problems. The impact of BRT on land development remains largely unexplored. BRT experience in Asian cities has been less recorded, although some BRT systems have
been successfully introduced in Asia. A growing body of evidence suggests BRT has a positive impact on land value uplift. Understanding whether capitalization effect occurs is becoming increasingly important, as
land value uplift conferred by BRT could be part of strategies contributing to BRT project funds. A detailed study should be carried out to evaluate the performance of Bus Rapid Transit, inclu
ding technical performance, customer perception and land development impacts, in support of t
he development of more informed guide to BRT investment policy.

Motivation to use BRT
Motivation to use the BRT• 52.3% believed that BRT was more convenient than car for their trip ---- BRT is a competitive alternative to the private car. • 6.2% concerned about the negative impact of car on environment ---- environment impact becomes an increasingly important factor to concern in China
Modal shift• 12.4% said they had a car alternative for the journey • This surveyed modal shift from private car is encouraging, considering that car ownership in Beijing is generally lower than many western cities • A high-quality bus-based rapid transit can attract modal shift.
5 Analysis results 5.2 Passenger survey : travel-related characteristics (1)
1) Before the operation of BRT, how did passengers previously undertake this journey? (N=525)
2) Which transport mode do BRT users normally use to access a BRT station?
Public transport systems, walking and cycling are the main modes used. Travel by bus accounted for 75.4% ---mainly because many conventional bus lines were cancelled or shortened 7.2% of trips on the BRT line 1 were new trips ---highly likely to be generated by the BRT
Most people took green transport modes (bus, walking, Metro/LRT,cycling) to access the BRT Only 6.1% of the total respondents took the bike ---lack of secure bicycle storage For choice users, • walking: 52.3%, the most common way • park+ride: very few (3.1%) “park and ride” is underdeveloped in China
5 Analysis results 5.2 Passenger survey: travel-related characteristics (2)
3) Trip purpose 4) Trip frequency
Taken as a whole, the majority of passengers (47.4%) were work-related commuters (travel to work or travel on business) The percent of “Travel to work” to choice users is almost twice as that to captive users. ---BRT is more reliable than private car during the rush hour Recreational activities and shopping are less popular to car users ---BRT is less competitive than car in spare time.
Taken as a whole, most respondents (41.1%) used BRT more than once a day. ---BRT may have certain loyal passengers, who always use BRT to travel to work. Respondents who used BRT 1 time/day only account for 10.7%. ---people usually use the same transport mode for a return trip.
5 Analysis results 5.2 Passenger survey analysis: travel-related characteristics (3)
5) Evaluation of the BRT service Seven attributes, including speed, reliability, safety, convenience, frequency, comfort & cleanliness
and overall service quality, are measured.
--- respondents have strong positive opinions on the BRT service.
--- 85.5% of passengers rated overall satisfaction of BRT service as “very satisfied” or “satisfied”.
--- in particular, respondents thought BRT was fast and convenient.
6) Suggestions for improvementOvercrowding problem.
suggestions for improving the BRT service mainly relate to BRT capacity enhancement
--- Launch more BRT routes --- The hours of services should be extendedVehicle interior: not always kept clean Shelter: could not provide passengers effective protection from the bad weather.

Impact on modal shift
5 BRT corridor analysis5.5 Decision makers` viewpoint
The primary findings from discussion with decision makers
(7 in-depth interviews were held with 13 practitioners )
The introduction of the BRT line 1 has a substantial impact on transit-supportive land de
velopment. The travel time savings has made locations near a BRT station more desirable
for development. Many residential projects, specifically condominiums, were built after the
implementation of the BRT system, and this is mainly due to the accessibility enhanceme
nt in the southern area.
BRT also has negative effects on nearby properties resulting from noise, pollution, and t
raffic intrusion. However, the value of accessibility provided by BRT line 1 is significantly s
tronger than these nuisance effects.
BRT line 1 has provided some opportunities for joint development, but busway station is
not well integrated into surrounding land development. For BRT project, promoting land de
velopment is currently not within the scope of transport planners.
The importance of physical infrastructure was emphasized by decision makers.
The commercial projects were less referred in the interview, and it is expected to take a l
onger time to examine its impact.
5 BRT corridor analysis5.6 Opinions from local real estate agents
The primary findings from discussion with 35 local real estate agents include:
The BRT line 1 has a high profile in the property market.
There was generally a consensus on the prosperous property market, such as rising propert
y values, rents, and real estate performance, resulted from the opening of BRT. Overwhelmin
g majority (94.3%) believed that the operation of the BRT Line 1 had caused a noticeable cha
nge in property prices proximity to the BRT corridor.
The property value uplift conferred by the BRT mostly occurred after its full operation and ha
ppened within 500 metres distance from a BRT station.
BRT was fundamental to many customers` interest in the local area. From real estate agent
s`s perspective, most customers would like to pay a premium (10% to 25% of rental or capital
value) for properties near the BRT corridor.
85.7% of respondents believed that BRT had provided development opportunities, and beco
me a driver for property development along its corridor.
5 BRT corridor analysis5.7 Survey with business owners
Visits and interviews with some business owners have revealed that BRT line 1 is very
likely to have improved business opportunities for people to work in BRT station areas.
After the opening of BRT line 1, more customers travel from downtown to southern area. BRT service may attract many new trips to boost the patronage of nearby businesses. The survey was conducted only 4 years after the full operation of BRT line 1. Further
investigation on commercial sector needs to be done after a longer period.

Property prices rose at a high rate Property market in Beijing booms due to
tremendous consumption demand, the Olympic

Olympic Games, present economic crisis and
government policy on supporting property marke
t,
affecting both control and test units are
reasonably similar.
Pre-owned houses prices change in Beijing from 2003 to 2009
Property prices for both catchment and control
areas increased dramatically, benefiting from
excellent regional property market. Properties adjacent to a BRT station gain a
relatively faster increase (2.3% annually) than
those not served by the BRT system, and this
trend is more apparent after the operation of BRT
in 2005.

There is no significant difference between mean prices of catchment and control areas in 2003
(before the opening of BRT line 1 ) and in 2004 (during the construction phase of BRT). BRT line 1 might be not bring remarkably effect to Dahongmenxili station than its paired area BRT has brought about significant impact on Heyinanzhan and Liuyingmen staions. Mean value did not changed significantly during the period 2003-2004. Mean value did change significantly during the period 2004-2009. This finding proves the property value uplift do occur to properties adjacent to BRT stations and
this effect is much more evident after a relatively short period (5 years) of BRT operation.

The statistical analysis suggests improved accessibility conferred by BRT is capitalized into higher real-estate prices, and this capitalization effect is particularly evident in the places which previously lack mobility by Mass Transit system. The results also imply that the positive impact of BRT on property value uplift is more evident over time.
A low cost rapid transit system is achievable:
6 Conclusions and discussion
• BRT can offer larger passenger capacity, higher operation speed, and more reliable and comfortable service than conventional bus. • BRT can be built faster, and cheaper than comparable rail system.
A significant transport improvement• BRT line 1 has a large attractiveness distance, and attracts a large number of work-related trips. • It has gained a high satisfaction over passengers, attracted modal shift from private cars, and possibly generated many new trips. Improve property attractiveness • BRT as an emerging form of transport system is generally appreciated by stakeholders. • It has improved the residential and commercial property attractiveness in the southern region and provided some opportunities for transit-oriented development.
Property value uplift• Improved accessibility conferred by BRT is capitalized into higher real-estate prices. • The capitalization effect mostly occurs after the full operation of BRT, and is more evident over time and particularly observed in a place which lack mobility by Mass Transit system. • The values of residential properties near a BRT station increased faster (annually 2.3% higher) than those not served by the BRT.
