PERCEPION STUDY OF BRTS AND AMTS

INTRODUCTIONAMTS: Traditional existing public transport system

in Ahmedabad for over 50 years.

Due to problem of pollution, congestion of traffic and increased trip time the need arise to design efficient, safe and fast system for public transport.

BRTS (Bus Rapid Transit System): Introduced in Ahmedabad to deal with the increased traffic problems & to provide speedy public transport system.

It consist separate infrastructure.

INFRASTRUCTURE

BRTS AMTS Dedicated separate lanes It has to run in common roads at

existing underpasses\bridges Doesn’t cover whole part of the city Advanced Technology is used Problems Of urbanization such as

pollution, congestion of traffic are solved to much extent.

Separate traffic signals are provided Maximum waiting time at the

stoppage is not more than 10-15 seconds

Each Bus stop is well maintained and constructed

Elevated Bus Stops Higher Initial cost Reduced Accidents

Runs with mixed traffic

Covers most parts of the city Manual operation Congestion in Traffic is still

prevailing

No such facilities It depends on traffic & time schedule

Old aged bus stands without maintenance

No such treatment Already developed system Frequent accidents occur.

VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS

BRTS AMTS

Less Passenger Capacity Frequency: Approximately 1

0 minutes. Less Fuel Consumption and

pollution Speed Limit: 30-40 km\hr Only one Way to enter and

exit

Each Bus stop is well maintained and constructed

Air Conditioned Buses are proposed.

Number of buses required are less

Higher Passenger Capacity Frequency: Approximately 20

minutes Higher Fuel Consumption

and pollution Not specific Separate Entry and Exit ways

are provided. Old aged bus stands without

maintenance No Such buses. More number of buses are

required

WE AS USERBRTS AMTS

Reduced Travelled Time Comfortable Journey Well Defined Stoppage Serves Specific areas Bus Stands not easily

accessible Proper Ticket vending system Can’t be used to serve areas

of low traffic volume No difficulty or congestion in

peak hours

Well established infrastructure facility

Reduces traffic congestion

Relatively More travelled Time Journey is tedious and chaotic Stoppages not followed every

time It covers many areas Bus Stands easily accessible No such system exists Can be used to serve areas of

low traffic volume Difficulty of getting it in peak

hours due to heavy traffic Poor infrastructure facility Creates traffic congestion to

normal traffic
