Article Preview

Abstract:

Under the situation of economic development and traffic congestion in Chinese city, public transport has become an inevitable developmental trend. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has gained more and more attention for its fast speed, low investment, high safety. In current there are a dozen cities opening BRT in China. Although they achieve certain effect, some problems emerge. BRT development level in three cities was analyzed by Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation. In these three cities, the proportion of BRT intersection signal priority is low and passengers’ average travel time is long. BRT in China is still in its infancy. Technology and management needs to be strengthened and public awareness of bus priority needs to be improved.
