Transportation

Here is a list of ideal/best practices in developing a complete transportation system:

  • Walking:
    • Provide well-maintained and safe sidewalks and pedestrian walkways.
    • Incorporate pedestrian-friendly design elements such as crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and lighting.
    • Encourage walkability by creating walkable neighborhoods and promoting walking as a means of transportation.
    • Offer wayfinding and signage to make it easy for people to find their destinations on foot.
  • Cycling:
    • Develop dedicated bike lanes and paths separate from vehicle traffic.
    • Offer secure bike parking and bike-sharing programs.
    • Promote cycling as a viable mode of transportation through education and awareness campaigns.
    • Incorporate bike-friendly infrastructure, such as bike racks, repair stations, and showers.
  • Taxis:
    • Regulate taxi services to ensure safe and reliable service for passengers.
    • Encourage the use of environmentally friendly vehicles, such as hybrid or electric taxis.
    • Implement technology solutions to improve efficiency, such as GPS and dispatch systems.
    • Offer accessible taxi options for individuals with disabilities.
  • Buses:
    • Invest in modern, efficient, and environmentally friendly bus fleets.
    • Provide convenient bus stop locations and real-time information on bus arrival times.
    • Implement bus rapid transit (BRT) systems to improve speed and reliability.
    • Offer free or low-cost transfers between different modes of transportation, including buses, metros, and trains.
  • Metros:
    • Develop a comprehensive metro network to provide fast and reliable transportation options.
    • Offer convenient access to metro stations, including bike- and pedestrian-friendly approaches.
    • Incorporate modern technology to improve efficiency, such as automated fare collection and real-time information.
    • Offer accessible options for individuals with disabilities.
  • Trains:
    • Develop a high-speed rail network to provide fast and efficient transportation options.
    • Invest in modern and environmentally friendly trains.
    • Offer convenient access to train stations, including bike- and pedestrian-friendly approaches.
    • Incorporate modern technology to improve efficiency, such as automated fare collection and real-time information.
  • Autonomous Electric Vehicles:
    • Encourage the use of electric vehicles by offering incentives such as tax credits and charging infrastructure.
    • Plan for the integration of autonomous electric vehicles into the transportation system, including dedicated lanes, charging stations, and data management systems.
    • Promote the use of shared autonomous electric vehicles, such as ride-hailing or car-sharing services, to reduce the number of individually owned vehicles on the road.
    • Collaborate with technology companies and automobile manufacturers to ensure that autonomous electric vehicles are developed and deployed safely and responsibly.
