18 Delhi bus corridor had several problems during the first weeks: The traffic signals did not work properly. Signal cycles excessively long (12 minutes) Bus queuing at stations - spillovers High number of Blue Line Bus breakdowns in the bus lane. Bus drivers were not well informed of the new operations. Additional traffic wardens have helped providing instructions. Motor vehicles and two wheelers invaded the bus lanes Pedestrian jaywalking The difficulties received wide media coverage focused on the problems for car drivers 18
19 Most problems are being corrected, but the concept is in doubt - expansion has slowed down Delhi s problems resulted in a negative impact for BRT all over India Summary BRT Rating Xiamen Changzou Jinan Jakarta Beijing BRT 1 Hangzhou Beijing BRT 2&3 Dailan Chongging Kumming Taipei Delhi Pune Running Ways Stations Vehicles ITS 19

21 Conclusions BRT adoption is happening very fast in Asian developing countries 6 systems started operations in China in systems are being constructed or planned (30% in India) National policies and funding for BRT development Quality and performance are varied Learning by doing BRT is not yet fully understood Photo: Karl Fjelstrom - ITDP Hitches, Hic-Ups What Went Wrong Planning problems Limited institutional capacity (human capital and funding) Lack of familiarity with BRT concepts (infrastructure + buses + operations + technology) Station design and integration of components Initial operations had difficulties Open systems with scarce control (bunching station spillover) Traffic signal priority is missing Accessibility issues Outstanding needs Improved institutions to plan, supervise Stress on operations and quality of service 21
