3 Component Metro LRT BRT Running Ways Rail Tracks Rail Tracks Roadway Type of Right of Way Segregation From the Rest of the Traffic Underground/ Elevated/ At-grade Total Segregation (no interference) Usually At-grade some applications Elevated or Underground (tunnel) Usually Longitudinal Segregation (at grade intersections) some applications with full segregation Type of Vehicles Trains (multi-car) Trains (two-three cars) or single cars Type of Propulsion Electric Electric (few applications Diesel) Usually At-grade some applications Elevated or Underground (tunnel) Usually Longitudinal Segregation (at grade intersections) some applications with full segregation Buses Usually Diesel/CNG some applications Hybrid (Diesel/CNG- Electric) or Electric Trolleybuses Sources: UNHabitat (2013) from Fouracre, et al. (2003), Vuchic (2007), Diaz and Hinnebaugh (2007)

4 Component Metro LRT BRT Stations Level boarding Level boarding or Level boarding (few stairs with stairs) Payment Collection Information Technology Systems Service Plan User Information Off-board Usually off-board Off-board Signalling, control, user information, advanced ticketing (magnetic/electronic cards) Simple; trains stopping at every station; few applications with express services or short loops Simple; trains stopping at every station between terminals From simple to very complex; combined services to multiple lines; express, local some combined with direct services outside the corridor Very clear signage, static maps and dynamic systems Image Modern and attractive Advanced as compared with standard buses Sources: UNHabitat (2013) from Fouracre, et al. (2003), Vuchic (2007), Diaz and Hinnebaugh (2007)

5 182 Cities with Metro 10,435 km, 112 million passengers per day

9 Metro: High End Mass Transit Option

10 Largest Metro Systems in the World Million Passengers per Year per Kilometer

11 Million of USD per Kilometer Capacity is the Main Driver of Capital Cost Capacity (Passengers per Hour per Direction)

12 Common deviation between planning and implementation Actual/ Estimated (Average) Cost 1.91 Passenger Demand 0.52 Bent Flyvbjerg,"Cost Overruns and Demand Shortfalls in Urban Rail and Other Infrastructure," Transportation Planning and Technology, vol. 30, no. 1, February 2007, pp DOI: / Link to published article: 12 urban rail transit projects with information before and after

13 Elevated vs. Underground (traditional table) Million USD/km (2000) Million USD/km (2014) Ratio At Grade Elevated ,0-2,5 Underground ,0-6,0 Source:Halcrow-Fox (2000), projected to 2014 with US inflation rate

14 USD Million per Kilometer (2014) But data shows otherwise Percent Underground Sources: World Bank (2014) and Flyvbjerg, Bruzelius & van Wee (2008).

15 Metros Capital cost is mainly a function of passenger demand Very high cost variability may depend on local considitons High uncertainty mitigation with good planning

16 BRT Intermediate to High Capacity Transit

17 BRT Diverse Sizes

18 Varied throughput

19 Commercial speed

20 Operational productivity

21 Capital productivity

22 Capital Cost

23 Comparing Alternatives

24 Range and Individual Capital Costs for Mass Transit in the USA Source: General Accounting Office, 2012

25 Recommendations Mass Transit Do not choose the technology and then justify it For the conditions of any city the key is integration of different services, taking most advantage of the existing systems
