The entire integration system of applying proposed
strategies (paratransit feeder and P&R facility) with high
density land use allocation along BRT corridor is demonstrated
in Figure 2. It is apparent from the figure that BRT
plays an important role as the rapid mass transit feeder,
serving passengers from suburban residential areas to the
business area in the CBD. An alignment of BRT corridor
is established to connect the CBD and the satellite city in
a suburban area. At the CBD side, it connects to the network
of mass rapid transit service in the CBD. Along the BRT corridor, sections with low density land use activities
and urban sprawl would require the application of
strategies to supply higher demand at BRT stations and
along the corridor. These include paratransit feeder and
high density land use allocation that modifies land use
regulation to promote commercial and residential development
within walking distance and to establish cut-through
paths linking cul-de-sacs, so bicyclists and pedestrians
may have direct access to stations for integrating and
promoting Non-Motorized Transportation (NMT)20 with
BRT. The P&R facilities would be provided at the end of
the BRT corridor for private-car users to park their vehicles
and transfer to BRT system.
