Vol-4, Issue 10 Evaluation of Lahore Bus Rapid Transit System
International Journal of Management Sciences and Business Research, Oct-2015 ISSN (2226-8235) Vol-4, Issue 10 Evaluation of Lahore Bus Rapid Transit System Author’s Details: (1) Dr. KASHIF RATHORE (2) KASHIF ALI Institute of Administrative Sciences, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan Corresponding author: KASHIF ALI ABSTRACT This study evaluates Lahore bus rapid transit system according to BRT standard 2014. This study concludes that deviation from proposed transport policies is one of the factors that lead towards the failure of urban transport system in Lahore. Government did not pay proper attention to the recommendations proposed in different transport studies conducted by JICA and other transport institutions. The Lahore BRT has failed to receive gold, silver or bronze standard as it only achieved “Basic BRT” status. Lahore BRT is experiencing swear maintenance and operational issues that may lead towards the failure of Lahore BRT system in terms of passengers discomfort and reliability of the system may get affected in future. Key Words: Lahore BRT evaluation, BRT scoring, performance evaluation, bus rapid transit system, gap between standard and actual Lahore BRT. 1 INTRODUCTION Lahore is capital of Punjab province with population of 9.25 million according to Punjab development statistics 2014. The increased population needs more educational institutions, health facilities, and employment opportunities. To access these facilities an efficient, safe and comfortable urban transport system is vital. For poor public transport is often the only means of transportation. Without public transport, people would not be able to consider work opportunities at a far distance from their homes. So work opportunities would be limited for them. -

Improving the Environmental Performance of Bus-Based Public Transport System in Lahore-Pakistan R
Pak. J. Engg. & Appl. Sci. Vol. 12, Jan., 2013 (p. 111-126) Improving the Environmental Performance of Bus-based Public Transport System in Lahore-Pakistan R. Hameed1and G.A. Anjum1 1. Department of City and Regional Planning, University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore. E-mail:[email protected] Abstract The bus-based public transport system in developing countries poses serious environmental challenges. This paper explores the environmental performance of buses managed and operated by private companies in Lahore under franchise initiative of Government of Punjab. The empirical evidence shows that buses pollute the air with CO and NOx emissions. The bus-based air pollution is result of obsolete engine technology, poor maintenance regime, excessive passenger load, and inadequate training of bus drivers. The problem of air pollution increases due to lack of regulatory measures on operators to maintain vehicles in good condition. The paper suggests that effective inspection and maintenance regime, careful selection of new engine technologies, mixed fuel strategy and segregated bus ways can help achieving the reduction in total vehicle emissions. Key Words: Environmental performance; urban public transport; bus emissions; motor vehicle inspection; private bus operators Canada [1]. In particular, the experience of improved 1. Introduction bus-based public transport systems in some cities of Latin American countries has come up as the most Buses being a main mode of urban public effective strategy to ensure not only cost-effective transport can play an important role in social and and space-efficient motorized travel for a large economic development of cities. However, a key number of citizens but also to help achieving the environmental concern about bus-based public reduction in total vehicle emissions. -

In recent years, such opportunities have emerged in the form of mass transit mega-projects, particularly BRT mega-projects. Most of the recent research on BRT adoption predominantly attributes these increasing investments to the changing nature of urbanization and associated increases in demand for public transport, as well as the political will shown by strong, committed local individuals.
