Detailed project description
Elaboration of a comprehensive Public Transport Network for Greater Beirut within an integrated system. Traffic modeling; implementation of public transport routes for Greater Beirut. A selection of bus routes and station locations were proposed based on technical requirements and demand analysis, including socio-economic priorities.
The study was part of an ambitious plan to solve transportation problems and build a comprehensive bus network serving the Lebanese territory. To adequately serve Greater Beirut, twenty bus lines, connecting almost all major areas, are proposed for users’ locomotion. This bus network was established according to a demand-based methodology.
The primary goal was to revitalize Lebanon’s public transport system and build a sustainable network.
