answer second-
The government should introduced a road pricing system for the city area. Private cars and taxis (other than car pools of one driver and three passengers) had to pay a fee to enter the city area during the morning peak period of 7.30am – 10.15 am. and evening peak period 6.30pm-7.30pm. and increase the taxes for buying the car.
And reduce the no. buses by double decker buses.Turn vision of people for bicycle or non mortise vehicle.
answer third-
Every bus route no. and timing should be available in mobile app for that city and
bus should also in build with GPS technology for easily tracking.
Urban public transport remains a challenge because it requires not just state-of-the-art buses, but also state-of the-art roads designed for public transport. This means creating central lanes for buses, stops for level boarding, passenger information systems, and making streets safe for pedestrians (because every public transport user is a pedestrian at the beginning and end of the journey).
Ans 2 Contd- iii)Car pools should be encouraged by Corporates and companies. Moreover smart cities will be Wi-Fi connected. That source we can use to convey information regarding availability of bus on the routes by chart / map demonstration designed with the help of software.
It is a concept of bus-based transport which has revolutionized the common understanding of how to plan and operate mass transit, especially since buses were previously regarded as vehicles that could not operate above certain passenger limits.
Answer3- HIGH CAPACITY BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM-
A Bus Rapid Transit system generally is comprised of dedicated bus lanes and stations where passengers can prepay the bus fare. These innovations speed the buses by setting them apart from any traffic congestion and ensuring quick entry and exit of passengers.
2) Roads for Cars to Streets for People such like in Mexico city. Made road in a two separate lane for motorcar and bus separately.
Ans.to Q.3 - Public transport should be fitted with GPS that sends signal to network admin about live traffic updates for streamlining red lights. Bus entry gates should be fitted with web- cams
Answer2- The ratio should be 1:4 between Car and Bus. There should be 4 Bus and 1 Car in a smart city.
Ans.to Q2 - A Bus carries 40 different people to the same destination and a Car carries 4 people from similar background to possibly many different destinations. If we need more balance of Bus and cars and encourage citizens to prefer public transport we will need to i) Improve the Bus interiors / infrastructure. ii) The routes of the buses should be preempted by surveys and the timings should be such that they match public requirements. iii)Car pools should be encouraged by Corporates and comp
