  • 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.
