  4. Background to Transport in Lagos
    • Population of around 17 million people, forecast to grow to 25 million by 2025
    • Relatively high car ownership
    • Low road length per head
    • Significant congestion problems
    • Driver indiscipline
    • Public transport characterised by
      • Large fleet of small privately owned buses – Danfo
      • Poorly maintained, unsafe buses
      • Run to serve interests of bus owners/operators not travellers
      • Long, unreliable journeys
      • Security issues at lorry parks
  5. BRT-Lite what has been achieved?
    • New BRT system opened in Lagos, Nigeria, in March 2008
    • 22km majority segregated route (400mm kerb, road markings) – bilateral config
    • 3 terminals (one using underbridge), 26 stops (unique shelter design), depot
    • $1.7m per km compared to $6m per km for the well known premium BRT systems
    • 220 high capacity buses operated by private sector (union Co-op)
    • Off-board ticketing
    • Call Centre
  6. BRT Stop: Typical Arrangement BRT Lane: Typical Merge/Diverge
  7. Why BRT-Lite?
    • ‘ Reduced’ version of full BRT system design
      • To be implemented within short timeframe
      • To sell the BRT concept to Lagosians and show what can be achieved
      • Focus on delivery of achievable segregation
    • To meet user needs
      • Safety
      • Affordability
      • Reduced journey times
      • Comfort
    • Best value investment
      • Travel time benefits to 200,000 BRT passengers per day with little adverse impact on private vehicles
  8. How was this achieved?
    • Lagos Urban Transport Project (LUTP)
    • Creation of strategic transport authority –LAMATA
    • Study tours to Latin America (2004 and 2006)
    • Feasibility study, surveys and preliminary design
    • Governor’s approval
    • Public sector infrastructure provision and maintenance
    • Private sector finance – Ecobank
  9. How was this achieved - 2
    • Early engagement of transport unions/Stakeholder Meetings
    • Creation of BRT Coop
    • Road Traffic Regulation
      • Non-BRT PT vehicles use service lanes
      • Traffic enforcement by LASTMA
    • Public enlightenment campaign
    • Training ‘pilots’ & operatives
  10. Scheme Success – BRT performance
    • 195,000 trips per day carried
    • 10,000 passengers in peak hour per direction
    • Journey time savings of 25 minutes for end-to-end trip
    Mile 12 to CMS BRT Other PT on corridor Via 3 rd Mainland Bridge In-Vehicle Journey Time 55 minutes 78 minutes 64 minutes Fare 100 Naira 230N (2 stage) 120N (2 stage) Interchange No Yes Yes Wait time 10 minutes 45 minutes 10 minutes
  11. Scheme Success – modal share
    • BRT carries 25% of all trips along corridor whilst accounting for just 4% of vehicles
    • 10% of trips to Lagos Island are carried by BRT
    • Better conditions for other road users due to regulation of other PT vehicles into service lanes
    • Main suggestion for improvement is more BRT buses and roll-out of BRT on more routes (requested by over 50% of non-users surveyed!)
  12. Scheme Success – User opinion
    • BRT is .... than my previous mode of transport
  13. Determining Factors for Success
    • Significant and consistent political support
    • The presence and capabilities of the strategic public transport body - LAMATA
    • Scheme design focused on user needs and on deliverability
    • Stakeholder engagement (including transport unions)
    • Community awareness and engagement
  14. Next steps
    • Extension and expansion of BRT network
    • Integration with planned water/rail systems
    • Migration to electronic ticketing
    • Continued training of operations personnel and pilots
    • Introduction of formal feeder routes and Park&Ride
