Busses have demonstrated their staying power as a valuable element of public transportation systems, offering travelers a cost-effective alternative to traveling by car. Increasingly, busses are trapped in a quagmire of traffic and urban congestion, reducing their efficiency as a reliable mode of transportation.
Through the design of transport models and surveys, ARCADIS transportation specialists can help bus network operators achieve greater efficiency in their networks. By crafting carefully researched urban and regional transport plans, we help municipalities weigh the relative advantages of dedicated bus routes within existing roadways versus the construction of new dedicated routes.
Additionally, ARCADIS' bus station layout and design services result in a more efficient flow of traffic for busses and greater convenience and safety for passengers.
Our bus system expertise is reflected in a comprehensive set of service offerings, including:
- Urban and regional transportation planning
