Uvođenje BRT – studija slučaja za Grad Skoplje

: The capital of Macedonia, Skopje, does not differ much in terms of traffic problems from the other cities that use transport system that primarily relies on the car. Although it is a city with more than half a million inhabitants, today's public transport system includes only a bus system. The network of lines relies on the concept of direct lines, but because it is not in line with the urban development of the city, there is an extremely high number of passengers who sit, which is contrary to the concept of direct travel. In the area of making efforts for improving the public transport system in Skopje and realizing the need for introducing a fast, high-capacity, ecological and attractive transport, the City of Skopje based on several previous studies decided to introduce a system of rapid bus system - BRT (in the English speaking world Bus Rapid Transit - BRT). A type of mass public transport system that provides a much higher level of pre-sport service in a higher quality than classic city bus transport. This paper summarizes the results of the BRT study for the City of Skopje for the implementation of Line no. 1, 12.81 km long in one direction, peak hour frequency service every 3-4 minutes, selection of a new CNG hybrid bus vehicle (up to 24 m long), physical separation of bus lines, new BRT priority strategy for 54 signalized intersections with realistic weather simulation, reduction of transport time by more than 50%, new content design for two terminal depots and new design of 21 bus stations with subway access system.
