快速公共交通系统(BRT)在浦东新区的应用前景分析

Applied Prospect of Bus Rapid Transit in the Pudong New Area

运用新型大容量快速公共交通系统(BRT)来缓解城市快速机动化带来的诸多交通问题已成为一种趋势。BRT系统具有建设运营灵活、环境污染小、安全性高等优势,但也存在运行速度和运输能力受到限制、占用地面空间大和系统稳定性差等不足。上海浦东新区的城市交通系统宜采取由轨道交通、BRT、常规公交组成的综合交通体系,且需在运营管理机制、建设措施、配套交通措施等方面为BRT系统的应用创造条件。

Bus Rapid Transit （BRT） is a growing trend that is used to solve urban transportation problems. Its advantages include increased flexibility and safety, and decreased pollution. Disadvantages of BRT include its speed and capacity limitations, instability, and the large land area required for dedicated BRT lanes. The urban transportation system in the Pudong new area will adopt a unified rail, BRT, and bus transportation system. The new system is designed to provide the management, construction, and facilities conducive to new BRT development.
