Bus Rapid Transit-oriented Development: An Identification of Bus Rapid Transit System Passengers’ Modal Shift Potential Considerations

Abstract

This article explores some issues that are potentially considered by bus rapid transit (BRT) system passengers when shifting their mode of transport from driving their vehicle to taking the BRT system for the same kind of trip. The issues are explored as part of an attempt to design an appropriate BRT passengers' modal shift evaluation. The BRT passengers' modal shift evaluation is to be carried out to understand how a BRT system may influence urban development around the system and how it may trigger transit-oriented development (TOD) around the system. This article was written through a literature review directed on certain topics, that are BRT ridership-influencing factors, the BRT system passengers' behavior, the built environment condition around BRT systems, the types of transit system passengers and the types of trips carried out utilizing a transit system. It is found that several components of BRT system service quality and several components of the built environment around the system potentially influence the BRT system passengers' consideration when shifting their mode of transport. However, the influence may not be homogenous among all passenger-trips due to the different passengers' backgrounds and the different types of trips carried out utilizing the BRT system.

Competence of Bus Rapid Transit Systems Coupled with Transit Signal Priority at Signalized Junctions

“…It necessitates infrastructure improvements such as BRT dedicated lanes, service integration, and operation with various intelligent transportation technologies such as Transit Signal Priority (TSP). Therefore, it is seen as an effective and inexpensive way to improve the reliability and efficiency of transit services (Prayogi and Satwikasari, 2019;Raj et al, 2013;Deng et al, 2013;Hensher and Golob, 2008).…”

“…It assists in visualizing the real-world characteristics of traffic operational conditions. It also aids in visualizing traffic performance impacts under various conditions and scenarios, allowing decision makers to select the best approach during the deployment period (Prayogi and Satwikasari, 2019;Gunawan et al, 2014;Krajzewicz et al, 2012).…”

The Evaluation of Mode Shift Preference within Bus Rapid Transit-oriented Development Context

“…Prayogi and Hantono [9] and Prayogi and Satwikasari [10] provided a summary of issues that are potentially considered by BRT passengers prior to deciding to mode shift to taking the bus rapid transit (BRT) system. The issues consist of ones related to the BRT system's service, including the systems's reliability (i.e., vehicle speed, frequency, and headway), fare competitiveness and affordability, network integration, and general comfort and safety.…”

“…Prayogi and Hantono [9] highlighted the importance of exploring the mentioned perceptions when trying to understand the BRT passengers' mode shift preference. Furthermore, Prayogi and Satwikasari [10] noted that the BRT passengers' mode shift preference may not be homogeneous among various groups of passengers. The mode shift preference may vary among passengers of different background, including different income, ownership of personal vehicle and related driving license, and age.…”
