6. MOD POD-TIME SQUARE IN HARBIN
Ceate a mobility, aceesibility and people-oriented square
Project principles
Create An interaction, civic
and cultural central square
3. people-oriented designs
-activities for summer, night
time, winter

Melbourne revitalizes
downtown (Gehl)
7. Critical trends:
• Bus rapid transit
• New pedestrian-oriented spaces
• Bike sharing and bike networks
• Parking reform
10. Lanes of mixed
traffic
Bus express lane
Central median location removes conflict with
turning vehicles, double parked taxis and
delivery vehicles, etc. Left turns normally
prohibited where possible!
11. Stations feel like metro systems: station
floor level with the bus floor
Bogota TransMilenio
12. Passengers pay at the turnstile, not
the bus driver: passengers board
all doors at once.
Quito, Ecuador
Porto Alegre, Brazil
13. Size and number of doors is more important than bus size.
TransMilenio buses have 4 x 1.1 meter doors
15. One station in the middle or
two on the curb side
Difficult to transfer
Stations are Narrow Impossible
to reconstruct for higher volume
Requires special buses.
Buses only operate on BRT
corridor or have doors on
both sides.
Quito Line 1 Quito Line 2
22. Mid block station location increases the level
of service for both buses and mixed traffic at
minimal pedestrian inconvenience
23. Bus stop – Intersection
interference
Bus stop before intersection, buses waiting at light
can disrupt functioning of the bus stop
Intersection
Intersection
Bus stop after intersection, buses queuing at stop
disrupt intersection
38. Flexible Operation
优点: 专用走廊,走廊内Guangzhou and Cali, Colombia, are the first
BRT systems to combine full BRT features with ‘direct’ routes

79. Supply Caps
• Hamburg: Sealed inventory in
Central Business District at
roughly 30,000 spaces in 1976
• Zurich: “Historic Compromise”
instituted in 1996
• Amsterdam: Every spot created
off-street should remove a spot
from on-street.

want, we cant decide what sort of
transportation system we should
have.”

Robert Crumb:My favorite San FranciscanHis vision of the future as a logical consequence of the history of development in…
Nice design, most brt features, but does not pass through the strip.
Very low demand, low capacity system. People complain about cost.
Orange line not at level boarding. No pre-paid boarding at first. Later implemented.
Not very long, used to stimulate economic revitalization. Not successful yet, construction hurt businesses during recession.
Social equity aims, not as clear-cut as a technical project.1970’s gov’t stopped providing public transit; these guys started on the gray market, few entrepeneurships to operate in the townships (black and color-owned); today seen as a black african business – pride; formed with the idea of protection – protect routes, mafia mentality. Chance to revolutionize industryPoliticians promised that “No taxi operator will be worse off”Weak internal governance of taxi associations responsible for hold-up, “no mechanism for making a decision on behalf of the whole “Interim operations mean some taxi routes are being affected already
Freeze the existing parking supply in the city center and only permit an increase in the off-street supply if parking is needed at a particular site, but there should be a caveat that an equal number of on-street spaces must be removed. This type of cap-and-trade keeps the supply constant while repurposing on-street spaces for other uses.
