| 摘要： | City planners encourage people to consider public transport (PT) as their preferred alternative for travel. Since walking is often involved to access transit stops, this helps account for a healthy lifestyle. Using PT also reduces traffic congestion, which subsequently can reduce air pollution. Past studies suggest that improving the influencing factors like availability and quality of walkways and connectivity of road networks help in achieving more patronage.1 People prefer walking to transit stops if it is in the radius of 400 meters (m) (1,300 feet [ft.]) for transit access stops.2 People may also be encouraged to walk to transit stops if both the sidewalk quality and connectivity are improved. The present study attempts to examine the supply side factors for pedestrians that influence walking to bus rapid transit (BRT) stations in an Indian context (Ahmedabad BRT, India). Based on the identified factors, two indices are introduced which can be used to measure walking access to BRT stations. |
