| Project Detail |
The Project aims to prioritize use of public transportation and discourage the use of individual transportation, thus improving socio-economic conditions through increased mobility, optimization, expansion and requalification of the public transportation infrastructure.
Project Description
The components of the Curitiba’s Bus Rapid Transit Rideability Improvement Project include:
i) Lane Restructuring: This includes merge-and-go or drive-thru passing lanes in the corridors, pavement interventions supported by the principles of Greenroads® certification, traffic control and monitoring equipment, landscaping, accessibility and bus station improvements following an intelligent transportation system approach. It also includes a complementary feeder network with the implementation of the Safe System approach as part of Curitiba’s Life in Transportation (Vida no Trânsito) Program.
a) East-West Corridor: There are 33 bus stations, over an extension of 22.5 km of concrete pavement. The complementary feeder network, outside of the East-West Corridor, will go through road infrastructure restructuring for an extension of 10.2 km of asphalt pavement.
b) South Corridor: There are 13 bus stations, over an extension of 7.5 km. Concrete pavement will only be applied to the city block where the stations are located, for about 4.0 km of the South Corridor.
ii) Bus Terminals: This includes infrastructure improvements of bus terminals along the East-West Corridor to support the integration of the complementary feeder network. Innovative technology will be applied to close the gap among traditional, smart and digital infrastructure to improve passenger experience. |
