Recent system advances in the rapid transit sector have led to a position where the various modes are trying to look and feel like a mode which they are not buses acting like trams, trams pretending to be metro or even heavy rail (tram-train). There are issues associated with this blurring of boundaries that makes the definition within the existing typology redundant. Added to this there is a p...

Bus rapid transit (BRT) is one of the strategies to promote improvements in urban mobility. In this study, BRT scenarios, which integrate exclusive bus lanes and priority signal control mixed traffic were modelled using a VISSIM microsimulation. Three scenarios represent 16:84, 38:62 54:46 modal splits between public transport private vehicles. It was found that Scenario 4 (the scenario) offers...
