Abstract

In provincial cities without other mass public transportation than transit bus system, it has been a grave social problem that the spread of private cars after 1960s increased traffic congestion which hinders the passage of the buses. In this thesis, the idea is introduced to considerably ease traffic congestion using Public Transportation Priority Systems (PTPS) and Center Lane Shift Systems bringing a 35% reduction in the journey time of buses and a 29 % reduction of that of other vehicles. These systems were installed in Niigata, Japan in March, 2005. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
