Transit service is most attractive when it is faster than driving, or when the time differences are reasonable. To make transit faster, it can be given priority over regular traffic. This can be done through various measures, including:
- Grade separated busways
- Exclusive bus lanes
- Peak-period-only bus lanes
- Queue-jump lanes
- Transit signal priority
- Freeway shoulder use by express buses to bypass congestion
hey! this stuff is amazing!!! i’m finding a lot of awesome pictures and what not, but i was wondering about more textures for mapping backgrounds. are there any in the sites included here and I’m just not looking hard enough, or is there somewhere else i should be looking? thanks!
Great post Cloudia and your cubs looked a little livelier than when I saw them. How I miss being there. I am counting the days already and planning, planning, planning.
c'est tres joli ce que tu fais, toujours ! c'est chouette car tu mélanges les styles, le scrap papier, le scrap digital, la couture and co. C'est vraiment top. Joli award bien mérité pour toi !!
Jag har varit pÃ¥ en del träffar och kurser and¥Ãenge MS. Dom som varit där är nog dom som är som mig, dom som är bittra och tycker allt är skit stannar säkert hemma frÃ¥n sÃ¥dant. Det är kanske därför jag tycker dom flesta ser positivt pÃ¥ det. Jag har ju nästan bara sett den sidan 😉
Busses should ride in dedicated lanes and have signal priority anywhere they are getting regularly stuck. As soon as public transit is stuck in traffic, it is unreliable and basically useless.
In order for transit to be successful it needs to be more convenient than travel via automobile. To that end, any transit improvements or new services NEED to operate free of interference from automobile traffic in dedicated transit right of way.
Agreed!!
Transit signal priority … yes of course. Although I would be worried that it would lead to cars “drafting” behind the buses to get through the lights.
Buses on the highway? Why? Highway routes should be rail.Take the inside lanes from the highways for rail lines.
No buses on the highway shoulder. That sounds very dangerous.
Yes…to Transit Signal….this should have been implemented in Green Hills years ago and every feeder highway.
Former Mayors have been against this. Officials have said if we make things miserable enough then people will ride the bus. This is not the way to achieving bus ridership.
I like bus only lanes a.m. and p.m. on interstates and on the feeder highways. Fast makes people happy!
Safety first!! Bus should not have special priority. For express, I like the idea of light rail to some central location. I am thinking maglev monorail system mounted on a steel pole which would not take up a tremendous amount of space. Get people downtown and that takes a lot of cars off the street. BTW: Central Parking will be against this.
All of the above!
I believe the idea of transit priority is good. I do however, have a couple of concerns. If buses were given access to drive on the shoulder of the interstates, how will emergency vehicles get to where they are needed? Often they have to use these lanes themselves to get to a crash.
I wouldn’t want to have the transit priority interfere with emergency services and cause someone to be injured worse because they had to wait.
I’ve also seen many vehicles parked on the shoulder of the road because they are broken down. How would we keep this from posing problems for both those with the cars and those using mass transit?
Thanks again for your response, Jan. You make an interesting point. If you haven’t already, I would suggest that you also read about Freeway Bus Rapid Transit here: https://www.nmotion.info/freeway-transitbus-rapid-transit-brt/.
A bit of news found online rumors that this is targeting sites with low quality Rb0;a2ove the fold” content. As with any Google whiplash I would recommend ignoring it for the most part, keep doing clean ethical work and everything will level out. If you’re doing good SEO work you should have no real fears.
This is a great idea and absolutely necessary
Thanks for sharing. Your post is a useful conbiitutron.
Getting better! It needs saving sites for offline reading.Bug: Weather search doesn't work. It usually shows links instead of showing weather conditions right away.
4-17-2012 Especial el efecto de una composición Jazz de McCa. Hay qué escucharla varias veces para comenzar a disfrutarla.Curioso, porque su padre fué músico en una banda Jazz; Paul creció escuchando este estilo de música y le daba el toque Jazz a los Beatles.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
