o Option II: Keep the existing buses with one door but add a passing lane at the
four stations listed above, and add a second boarding platform at these station
stops.
In these locations, stations should be 5 to 7 meters wide, and an overtaking lane needs to
be added, to provide space for two buses in each direction.

Both options will give Corridor II and III enough capacity for the medium term. In the
long term, the measures in both Option I and Option II should be implemented.
VI.1.b. Distances Between Stops
While we do not know how the specific location of the proposed bus stops in Corridor II
and III compares to volumes of trip origins and destinations in those locations, the
currently projected average of 700 meters between stations is generally considered to be a
bit long. Normally, as station stops grow beyond 500 meters apart, the speed advantages
for the buses are outweighed by the disadvantages of increased walking times.
VI.1.c. Bus station width
Four (4) meters should be the minimum width requirement for any station. If the central
island is 5 to 10 meters wide it is better to construct one big station for two sides than two
small ones.
