Making TransJakarta a World Class BRT System - ITDP | Institute for ...

For some high demand stations (such as Harmoni or Monas, Senen, Grogol, Cempaka
Mas and Roxy) we recommend a minimum of 5 meters width, and if possible 6 or 7
meters.
VI.1.d. Buslane Width
Currently, the bus lane widths in Corridor I are wider than they need to be. As such,
sidewalks are narrower than they could be, and space for mixed traffic is also
constrained. Generally, 3.3 meters width is enough for any typical section of the busway
lane. 3-meters width is sufficient for bus stops because buses need to be brought close to
bus station and are travelling at low speed.
BRT requirements:
A. Typical or stretch (not at bus stop):
bus lane
island
bus lane
0.8 m
3.3 m 3.3 m
7.4 m
B. Bus stop:
bus lane
Island for bus stop
bus lane
4.0 m
3.0 m 3.0 m
10.0 m
1.4.2 General traffic
VI.2. Design Measures to Improve Conditions for Mixed Traffic
For mixed traffic, the intersections are the main bottlenecks, and each intersection
requires special design and all available width. Some general recommendations would
apply to all intersections. Whenever possible:
o Locate bus stop far (>150m) from intersections to allow more space for general
traffic and more space for bus station,
o Locate bus stops near but not directly in front of major trip attractors like
shopping malls and office buildings.
