  1. Write down one word that comes into your thought when you read the following word: Transport

  2. Shanghai Overpass – a transport solution

  3. Why do people need transportation? Because it gives them the ability to move from one place to another. Is mobility a necessity in life? Yes, it is. Mobility give people access to……… So, transportation is all about accessibilityandmobility?

  4. How to improve the mobility and accessibility of people? = How to improve transport? Do they both mean the same? If not what is the difference?

  5. Mobility: Efficient movement of people and goods where congestion or inadequate roads need not be a problem Accessibility: ability to reach opportunities where congestion or inadequate roads should not be a problem Traffic: vehicle movement and speed where congestion or inadequate roads is a problem Source: http://www.gdrc.org/uem/sustran/access-mobility.html

  6. In road-focused approach: access to services, goods and contacts requires a lots of mobility, as it is in the case of remote rural areas. Is it?

  7. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Curitiba (in Brazil) which pioneered BRT technology in the 1970s • - BRT system is different from conventional bus service • - BRT run in dedicated lanes • - BRT have signal priority so they spend less time stopped at red lights • BRT board passengers through all doors after paying fares at station platforms • Space for the busway is often re-allocated from existing traffic or parking lanes BRT buses move quickly through the city transporting 2 million people daily, which is 70% of the cities population. GDP per capita of Curitiba increased from 10% to 65% above the national average during 1980 to 1996. Investing in Sustainable Transport could lead to higher economic growth

  8. BRT helps • to reduce transport-related pollution. • to improve urban transport, • to improve accessibility, • to improve traffic safety, • to improve public security, • and • to boost the quality of public spaces in the City.

  9. BRT system reduced commute time from 1.5 hours to 1 hour for the route. • It reduced passenger exposure to CO, benzene, and PM 2.5 by up to 50 percent, as compared with previous bus service. • It reduced CO2 by 35,000 tons annually. Mexico’s BRT system • It was started in June 2005. • In 2016, it carried 1,152,600 passengers on weekdays. • Service is free for those over 70 years old, or disabled, and for children under 5 years.

  10. Bogotá, Colombia built 70 miles of bicycle routes and closed several streets to cars (converting them into pedestrian malls). • The initial $350 million, 38 km TransMilenio system was introduced in less than 2 years. • The buses are able to carry 780,000 people a day at an average speed of 26 km per hr. • - Unlike expensive subways or elevated trains, the TransMilenio actually runs at a profit. http://archive.wri.org/newsroom/wrifeatures_text.cfm?ContentID=880

  11. The Transjakarta Busway in Indonesia, Asia’s biggest BRT, began operations in February 2004 amid stiff opposition - but its success silenced critics. In June 2019, it has the world's longest BRT system (251.2 km in length) and it serves on average 0.8 million passengers daily.

  12. TransSantiago BRT system in Santiago, Chile failed catastrophically when first introduced. 

  13. Congestion pricing works by shifting purely discretionary rush hour highway travel to other transportation modes or to off-peak periods, taking advantage of the fact that the majority of rush hour drivers on a typical urban highway are not commuters. Introduced in London in 2007. Airline tickets and phone rates use congestion pricing Source: http://www.sutp.org/content/view/1041/1/lang,uk/

  14. Congestion pricing was introduced in London in 2006/2007. Prior to the charge, London drivers spent 50 percent of their time in traffic jams, costing the city between £2–4 million every week. As of 2007 congestion had dropped 21 percent, and approximately 70,000 fewer vehicles entered the extended congestion pricing zone daily, reducing global warming carbon dioxide emissions by 16 percent.

  15. Each year more than £123 million are raised for public transport improvements. Bus ridership has increased 45 percent as people are switching to bus transportation in London because their travel time has decreased due to congestion pricing. Bike use had increased by 43 percent by 2007. And London’s emission-based toll incentives provide additional environmental benefits.

  16. Paris created an individualized mass transit system called Vélib (“Freedom Bikes”).  .

  17. People pay a low fee to use the bikes from one of the 1,200 bike parking stations located in the city and they can return the bikes to any station they wish.  By the end of 2007, Vélib had more than 1,202 stations and 15,000 bikes in the system.  As of November 2007, more than 11 million trips have been made on these bikes.  Source: http://www.sutp.org/content/view/1041/1/lang,uk/

  18. When Vélib was introduced in Paris, cyclists purchased a day ticket from the easy to use terminals for a euro. It allowed unlimited free bike hire over a 24 hour period provided each ride was less than 30 min. The bargain prices headed steeply upwards after that: a 90-min rental cost 3 euros and a 5-hour rental cost 31 euros. The intent is to keep as many bicycles in rotation as possible.

  19. The bikes can be rented online or at any of the 750-self-service docking stations. A one-day pass cost 1 euro, a weekly pass cost 5 euros and an annual pass was 29 euros. Target was to reduce car traffic by 40 percent by 2020.

  20. $120 million

  21. Paris was revitalizing community life in public spaces • Paris was prioritizing pedestrians by renovating public squares and plazas, widening sidewalks, and adding new landscaping and raised crosswalks  • Paris has built more than 314 km of bike lanes, and bicycling has increased 48% during the past 5 years • 3 corridors of the new BRT system also opened in 2007  • private vehicle traffic was decreased by 20% • CO2 emissions was reduced by 9%   Source: http://www.sutp.org/content/view/1041/1/lang,uk/
