Network of Dedicated Bus Lanes: A Solution to Increase the Accessibility of the Urban Intermodal Transport

Abstract

Abstract The public transport system has an essential role in the sustainability of the urban environment. The accessibility is one of the critical functions for the increase of public transport efficiency. In this framework, the paper presents a methodology to enhance the accessibility of the public transport network. The methodology aims to design a network of dedicated bus lanes to operate in areas with low accessibility and improve the connections to metro and tram lines that provide rapid and high-capacity services.
