Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) - A Sustainable Approach- Literature Review
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 0
Abstract
Cities in the developing countries in general and India in particular, are in search of sustainable solutions to their accessibility and mobility issues. The process is complicated due to the rapid pace of urbanization, which is characterized by motorization, the co-existence of motorized and non-motorized modes, deteriorating public transport services and institutions and deteriorating air quality. A variety of modes such as walking, cycling, two-wheelers, Para-transit, public transport, cars etc. are used to meet the travel needs in urban areas. Public transit systems world over are struggling to complete with private modes and the shift is noticeable in the developing countries as well; the predominant modes being cars, two wheelers and other intermediary modes. At present, public transport becomes financially less viable, speeds reduce, and congestion levels increase and the transportation becomes a source of environmental problem. So, to compete with these requirements BRTS is one of the most solutions of these problems. The aim of the present paper is to introduce BRTS which is the sustainable solution for public transport services in urban area of Indian city. This paper highlights how we can improve the public transport through BRTS on the basis of literature.
