• W591362673 abstract "Accessibility to affordable, safe and reliable transport systems can improve economic opportunities. Such systems can provide massive benefits to low and middle income households in emerging economies. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) through its early success in developed countries and later applications in South America and elsewhere provides an opportunity to introduce large scale urban transport networks addressing accessibility needs of large numbers of people. Income is a major influence in how people travel in South Africa. Higher income earners mainly travel by car. Middle income earners mainly travel by public transport modes such as minibus taxis, bus and rail while low income earners mainly walk. Many of the public transport modes are of poor quality, less reliable and can present safety and security problems. The spread of townships and dispersed land uses in South Africa means that motorised trips can be relatively long. Therefore public transport needs to be coordinated to be effective. The creation of Integrated Rapid Public Transport Networks (IRPTNs) will aim to integrate BRT with minibus taxi operations and other public transport modes while providing a high quality, reliable and safe means of transport. The potential exists with the emergence of comprehensive public transport systems to transform people’s travel options and therefore their wider opportunities, particularly access to employment. This paper reports analysis results of the Phase 1 of the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality IRPTN in eastern Johannesburg, South Africa. The Phase 1 route is about 55km long and travels from Tembisa in the north of Ekurhuleni via OR Tambo international airport to Vosloorus in the south of Ekurhuleni. It is anticipated that the main mode shift towards BRT will be from minibus taxis. The forecasting is carried out allowing minibus taxi and bus passengers to shift to BRT where appropriate based on generalised cost of travel. BRT and taxi/bus passengers can transfer between modes. Forecasting results indicate that there is a significant demand for Phase 1 BRT. The operational analysis results suggest high frequency services even as close as 2 to 3 minutes are required especially in the morning and afternoon peak periods. Designing a service pattern to accommodate very high peaks relative to other times of the day is difficult and costly. However, growth in off peak period demand in the future, supported by an integrated approach to land use and development, would help offset those costs by using spare capacity. To achieve this, a pre-paid smart card type ticketing system and articulated buses are proposed. In addition, the varying demand along the 55 km route means avoiding over-supply for those sections where demand is lower is complex. The traffic control centre will monitor the system through out the day to provide a safe and secure IRPTN network." @default.
