Abstract

Through the bus rapid transit ( BRT) operating facilities, operational efficiency, service levels, passenger satisfaction and other indicators, this paper evaluated the operation of Beijing BRT lines and contrasted the regular bus lines with a comparative analysis. A comprehensive summary of Beijing BRT operating experience was concluded. In general, BRT has the merits of running faster, saving travel time, reducing delay, high rate of punctuality, high efficiency, and being environmental friendly and so on. The survey also found that because there are differences in signal priority and line location in the three BRT lines, the running speed, operation time composition, passenger volume, loading ration, passenger satisfaction are different. To solve the BRT existing problems, BRT lines and the regular bus lines must be integrated into the same corridor, with the implementation of adjustment line’s location, transfer connections, and setting signal priority. This paper will be useful for Beijing BRT development and provides BRT experience for other cities.
