摘要

There are clear efficiency and environmental benefits to be derived from transferring urban travellers from private cars to public transport and non-motorized transport (NMT). Many cities when faced with the threat of ever-increasing traffic-generated pollution and congestion have adopted policies and strategies to encourage this shift. In supporting this policy, public transport, with its far greater capacity for moving people efficiently and cheaply, can also be effectively used to support urban development policies and programmes. For example, as cities grow in size, the maintenance of a strong and thriving city centre calls for daily inward and outward movement of increasingly large volumes of commuters, tourists, shoppers and others, all benefiting from the economies and necessities of central location. Public transport can more easily meet this mass access need as compared with private cars. Most urban public transport is road based, but the major cities of the world have a long history of building and developing rail-based schemes to provide the backbone of public transport supply along key corridors. Road-based public transport, given adequate operational support (e.g. dedicated tracks, off-line bus-stands, trunk-and-feeder routing, etc.), can handle peak corridor flows up to about 25 000 passengers/hour/direction, but higher flows necessitate a 'heavy' rail-based system with a higher capacity. Rail (particularly the light rail and tram systems) is also justified (in preference to a road-based system) for lower passenger flows on such grounds as being less polluting and presenting a better urban image.
