Operational design Actual passenger capacity =
3600 α σ n S Cp = h α = guideway utilisation factor (0.6) σ = load factor (0.9) Example City Hall of KL needs to provide a transit line to meet peak hour demand of 12,000 passengers/hr. Required speed = 35 - 40 km/hr. Minimum headway = 120s maximum headway = 240s. Guideway utilisation factor = 0.6 and load factor = 0.9s. Station platform limit = 10 vehicles. Vehicle capacity = 130 passengers.

o Capacity = 12 - 240 passengers.
o Flexible - Expansions and extentions can be
introduced easily o Transit systems using buses are capable of
carrying 2,400 to 15,000 passengers per hr per direction.
o Volume of up to 30,000 passengers per hr per
direction can be achieved with special bus lane, off-line stations and multiple boarding platform.

Bus travel pattern
Radial service - sub-urban to CBD (Shuttle buses)
Ring road service to link up various sub-centres (Stage buses)
Local travel service (Mini bus)
Special travel in the CBD (eg. tourism)
Travel service between activity centres (Shuttle of mini bus).

Example of Bus Service Guidelines
Service pattern Service major activity centres such as office
buildings, school and hospital. Provide 300 meters coverage where
population density > 30. Serve at least 90% of the residents.
Space routes at about 0.75 km in urban area and 1.5 in sub-urban area.
Service Level Service period : 6 am-12 pm Headway: Peak: 5 minutes
Bus Stop CBD: 5 -7 stops / km, sub-urban: 1 - 3 stops /km

Bus Operation Design
Frequency, f = n / N
n = Demand for service (passengers / hr) N = Maximum number of passengers per bus
Usually the minimum headway is set in multiples of 7.5 or 10 minutes for the shake of coordination.

Example A bus service is planned between Bangi and Putrjaya, a distance of 20 km. The operating time is 45 minutes. Estimated demand is 500 passengers/hr. 45-seater buses will be used, which can accommodate 20 standees. Design basic system and determine the fleet size. Maximum headway is 30 minutes and the minimum terminal time is 5 minutes. Solution: Operating speed v = 60L/t = 60 x 20 / 45 = 26.67km/hr headway, h = 60(45 + 20)/500 = 7.8 min (adopt 7.5 min.) Cycle time, T = 2 (45 + 5) = 100 Fleet size, N = T / h = 100 / 7.5 = 14 vehicles Revised cycle time, T'= N x h = 14 x 7.5 = 105 min Revised terminal time = (T' - 2 travel time)/2 = (105 - 2 x 45)/2 = 7.5 minutes Commercial speed = 20 / (105 / 60 / 2) = 22.86 km/hr

Bike-Sharing
Community Bike programmes organised mostly by local community groups or non-profit organisations Smart Bike programmmes implemented by government agencies, sometimes in a public-private partnership. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_sharing_system )
