This paper assesses the effects on urban freight transportation of implementing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems. BRT systems have been widely implemented in Latin American cities recent decades, with positive results driven by their high capacity and relatively low cost. Implementing strategic corridors has led to changes land use, required some restrictions other traffic, particularly freight....

Bus rapid transit (BRT) is characterized by higher speed, comfort level, and larger capacity than conventional bus service. Although many cities worldwide have adopted BRT in recent years, there an absence of scientific quantitative approach for network planning. The problem planning existing transportation very complex with constraints road geometrics, regulations, right way, travel demand, ve...

Purpose The paper aims at identifying knowledge sharing barriers and enablers in an interorganizational setting different levels of units. For this purpose, the Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit project Pakistan is examined. Design/methodology/approach This study adopts exploratory single case approach. empirical data comprise semi-structured interviews archival documents. Thematic analysis used for a...

Increase of transit speeds is one of the most effective ways of increasing the attractiveness of transit for urban travel. While surface transit in particular suffers from low speed, the desirability of higher speeds is not limited to it. Rapid transit has adequate speed for short to medium-distance trips in urban areas. However, for longer. trips, particularly when there is a competing freeway...
