9 a.m. on the 22 day, the first spring city traffic lecture hall. Huang Lianghui, President and President of the Singapore city traffic International Academy, Luo Zhaoguang, and Huang Lianghui, the non executive chairman of Hongkong ho Huang transportation consulting company, talked about the theme of "urban public transport". How to improve the attraction of the bus, let the citizens give up the car actively and choose to travel by bus? Experts put forward that the BRT bus network should be extended before the Ji'nan subway has been operated to reduce the travel time of "door to door" and reduce the transfer cost.
how to let the public travel first bus? "Door to door" convenient travel is very important
Singapore only more than 700 square kilometers of land living in about 5000000 people, and such a high population density of a city country, the road is unimpeded. Luo Zhaoguang introduced, after more than 40 years of development, Singapore's daily bus travel volume of 8 million people, accounting for 67% of the total travel, public transport has become the first choice for the citizens to travel. In addition to walking, 12 million 480 thousand people travel in Hongkong every day, and 91% rely on public transport.
Luo Zhaoguang has produced a calculation problem, as well as 50 thousand people per hour, cars, buses and subways, how wide are they needed? Through calculation, 50 thousand people per hour = 175 meters of road width = bus width = 35 meters wide = bus width = 9 meters in the width of the subway. It can be seen that public transport can efficiently utilize land.
"how to ensure public transport as the first choice for citizen travel?" Luo Zhaoguang summed up the four major strategies, the most important to build high quality public transport services; the second point was "door to door" convenient travel, especially the convenient connection between the first and the last kilometre on the public intersection; and then to reduce the public. The dependence on cars and the willingness to use cars; and finally, the transport policy must be people-oriented, with the goal of maximizing the flow of people.
Ji'nan bus line network optimization has moved, the future speed of BRT will be increased to 25km/h
this year, Ji'nan will deepen the reform of public transportation, improve the operation mechanism, optimize the layout of the bus line network, and accelerate the construction of the main traffic volume of the main line. The optimization of public transport network is one of the 18 real livelihood issues in Ji'nan this year. In February this year, our city invited well-known experts in the field of public transportation both at home and abroad to discuss the public transportation system with "BRT rail transportation" as the backbone, the branch line of the fast line trunk line, and the comprehensive transfer hub as the node. The optimization and reconstruction plan of the bus line network will organize experts, scholars, people's congresses, CPPCC members, public transportation enterprises and the public to participate in the demonstration, so as to achieve the goal of fast, punctual, convenient, comfortable, safe and economic.
draw lessons from the development experience of Singapore and Hongkong in public transportation. In view of the optimization and reconstruction of the line network that will be carried out by Ji'nan bus in the future, Luo Zhaoguang suggested that the BRT bus network should be expanded to improve the operation speed before the subway in Ji'nan has not yet arrived. "Now Ji'nan BRT is running at a speed of more than 10 kilometers per hour, and the next step is planned to increase to 25 kilometers per hour." He also said that to attract more people to travel by bus, we should also ensure that the waiting time is regular, and the transfer stations with seamless links should be built to reduce transfer costs. Singapore implements the "one vote in the end and the distance charge", which can enjoy 5 transfers within 2 hours. The transfer cost is 0, which greatly improves the willingness of the public to transfer.
