Economic Analysis of Bus-Lane Application: A Case Study in Millet Street
Abstract
The traffic problem which gets worse with the increasing population and mobility in Istanbul, one of the biggest metropolises of the world, has been an attractive subject for the transportation experts. It is obvious that Bus-lane, which is one of the oldest methods to solve traffic jam and promote public transportation, brings advantages. In this study it is aimed to measure, quantify, and analyze the benefit of the Bus-lane application. The study contains 25 lines and their data that are serving on bus-lane of Millet Street, Istanbul. The data includes the morning and evening pick hours. During the cross of the buses on the street in the pick hours, the location data, speed data, service duration data, and number of passengers in the busses are provided by passenger information system. By comparing the speed, volume and service duration data of before and after application, it is reached to a conclusion on how much time saved by the passengers in the buses using bus-lane, the amount of fuel saved by buses and how much CO2 emission is reduced. It is seen that the bus-lane application provides advantages on time, fuel, and CO2 emission.
