What makes a good transit system?
A good transit system is both fast and frequent. One way to achieve this is to beat congestion by creating dedicated bus lanes. Dedicated bus lanes can double, even triple bus speeds and move more than four times as many passengers per hour than regular-lane traffic.
What is Person throughput?
Using person throughput as a primary measure relates the design of a transit street to broader mode shift goals. The capacity of a single 10-foot lane (or equivalent width) by mode at peak conditions with normal operations.

What is an efficient transport system?
Efficient transportation systems enable the movement of people and goods while minimizing time, cost, and energy. The mobility energy productivity (MEP) metric is an example of an EEMS initiative that can help decision makers evaluate transportation system efficiency.
How do you calculate lane capacity?
Traffic capacity is the maximum traffic density a road can accommodate at a given speed without delay. Before the actual capacity of a roadway can be determined, it it necessary to find the theoretical capacity. The formula N = 1760V divided by I is used for finding the theoretical capacity for one lane of a roadway.
