Analysing the proposal to build bus corridors

The need to solve urban mobility problems arising from uncontrolled and often unplanned population growth has led to the creation of numerous measures to increase the quality and performance of urban public transport services. One of these is the implementation of exclusive bus lanes, particularly the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, which is becoming increasingly popular due to success stories in populous cities, where it has proved to be an attractive and effective option. The aim of this study was therefore to analyse the proposal for the construction of bus corridors made by the Joinville City Council and submitted to PAC 2 Mobilidade Médias Cidades, comparing it to the documents BRT Quality Standard 2016 and BRT Manual 2008.
