This paper provides empirical evidence on ways commuters access bus rapid transit (BRT) stations in Bangkok, Thailand. It is hypothesized that land use characteristics in areas near BRT stations affect passengers’ travel behavior, particularly the station access portion of the trip. The authors conducted interview surveys of BRT commuters and another survey of land use and transport network characteristics around BRT stations. It was found that the three most widely used modes of access were walking, motorcycle taxi, and bus, with average access distances of 373, 1,040, and 7,076 m, respectively. In addition, the logistic regression technique was used to model walking access mode choice as a function of land use characteristics around stations where passengers boarded the BRT, controlling socioeconomic and trip characteristics. It was found that land use characteristics, including residential, commercial, service, retail, and financial land use intensity in BRT station areas, affected passengers’ tendency to walk to BRT stations. The extent of the catchment area and the determinants of travel behavior have important implications for land use and transportation policies that aim to promote transit-oriented development, particularly those that allow for greater building density around transit stations.

Jambi Provincial Government tries to overcome congestion by providing public transportation, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, known as BRT Trans Siginjai Jambi. Public transportation Trans Siginjai Jambi has been operating for two years and has 11 BRT Stations. Placement of the transit node is one of the determinants of the role of bus stations in the surrounding area. The diversity of land-use and facilities close to the transit area can reduce travel time, so it is necessary to map the land-use that will determine the physical characteristics of the area around the BRT Station. This study discusses the characteristics of the area around the BRT Station using quantitative methods. Quantitative methods are used to determine the characteristics of BRT Station based on the variables of the proportion of land use in the area around the BRT Station. The land-use variable is obtained from the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) theory. The study produced three characteristics of BRT Station, namely City Station, Neighborhood Station, and Special Activity Station.

Urbanisation has led to increased traffic use and congestion in various cities around the world. Various policies and strategies have been implemented to address the issue. One of the most popular strategies is the development of transit system, including mass rapid transit (MRT) and light rapid transit (LRT).  To ensure the success of the transit system, the concept of Transit Oriented Development, in which land uses around the stations that are developed for urban development has been implemented. This paper evaluates a possible relationship between land uses around the station and ridership in selected stations along the Kelana Jaya LRT line in the Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area, Malaysia. The land uses around the station were calculated using Land Use and Public Transport Accessibility Index (LUPTAI). The research did not conclusively find a strong relationship between LUPTAI and ridership. This was perhaps due to the fact that almost all stations had been developed for urban land uses, such as commercial, residential and public facilities, thus giving all stations almost the same index figures. It is hope that a more detailed index that accounts for type and mixture of development on land, as well as the density for residential areas would probably give a better index result, as well as perhaps a stronger relationship with ridership figures.

The study examines Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) users’ perspicacity in Lagos, Nigeria along Ikorodu-Mile12 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor in order to guide, provide information for policies and decision makers during policies formulation. This study assesses the socio-economic character of passengers using the primer transport service along Ikorodu-Mile 12 BRT corridor; analysed the travel behavior of commuters using the primero transport service in the study area and examine the commuters’ perspicacity and expectation on the level of service quality provided by Primero Transport Service. A total of three hundred ninety-four (394) commuters (one commuter per bus) who go back and forth through the buses were sampled. Perception and expectation about service were asked. The result of factor analysis found that commuters were satisfy with the service offer by Primero, physical appearance, level of clean, mode of operation and level of service deliver by Primero transport services.

Land Use Transformation

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has shown significant growth in recent years, particularly in developing countries because of its cost-effectiveness. However, empirical evidence on land-use and economic impacts of BRT is limited. This study measures the sustainable land-use transformation, urban density, and economic impact witnessed after the development of BRT. Spatial analysis shows that BRT has the potential to simulate land-use transformation, however, the extent of transformation is context-dependent. Population density has increased from 268 persons/acre to 299 persons/acre. Besides land-use transformations, inward investments and extension of the labor market were also evident in areas served by BRT. The amount almost equal to US $140 million of inward investment was detected after implementation of BRT, which ultimately brought around 800 new employees from remote areas. An efficient land-use policy, streamlining these land-use transformations, and inward investments, can benefit from developing compact and sustainable neighborhoods. This study will help in the performance evaluation of BRT systems in developing countries for sustainable development.

The Impact

Transit-oriented development (TOD) has been recognised as a sustainable planning approach and that is typically designed for a whole city. Individual land use characteristics and the causations have often been ignored. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to explore the factors that influence the land use catchment area (LCA) characteristics at a station neighborhood level. First, it contributes a methodology to measure the LCA by introducing a new concept. The density gradient was introduced to generate the scale and compactness degree of each station. Second, it provides a theoretical framework for understanding the causes of different LCAs. The partial least squares (PLS) regression model was employed to explore the accessibility effects. By analysing density gradient curves, it reveals that stations grew to fit the negative exponential function. Regarding the scale and form degree of LCAs, the impact of accessibility before and after a station construction have been corroborated. Moreover, the effects of facilities function before construction, distance from main roads, and elevated stations have been emphasized. The results provide support for a more sophisticated concept of catchment area relating to land use at the level of an individual TOD station, while shedding light on the benefits of those engaged in the future design of TOD with due consideration of the local physical environments.

The Government

The increasing need for transportation has prompted the government to provide public transportation to increase mobility and reduce the number of private vehicles. The Department of Transportation of Central Java Province has developed the Trans Jateng BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) mass transportation in the Barlingmascakeb area through activities to improve the Trans Jateng agglomeration transportation service. The BRT that has been operated in the Banyumas area is Corridor 1 on the Purwokerto-Purbalingga route. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of travel behavior and passengers' willingness to walk. The sampling of the research was random sampling using a questionnaire as the main data collection tool. The results of the discussion of travel behavior in terms of the purpose of the trip were dominated by recreation/shopping and education. The majority of BRT users used public transportation as the mode used before switching to BRT, the connecting mode from home to shelter is dominated by feeders, while from destination to shelter is dominated by walking. The connection distance from the house and from the destination to the shelter is >400 meters. Thus, the majority of respondents came from a buffer range of 0-400 meters. Based on willingness to walk, some respondents walk up to a radius of >400 meters. It is necessary to add more shelter points if the distance between stopping points does not meet the standards and provide better shelter access, especially by walking or using other integrated public transportation.
