Transportation system assessment 3<br />

Road network:<br />

- Very extensive road network, usually far from capacity,<br />

- Few bottlenecks in the network and some inefficiency in traffic flows management,<br />

- Bad connection between northern and southern part of the city due to the city center<br />

bottleneck,<br />

- Important to be careful about road investment in order to build a <strong>sustainable</strong><br />

roadmap.<br />

Public <strong>transport</strong> network:<br />

- Strong and efficient Metro backbone serving part of the city center and some of the<br />

dense suburbs,<br />

- Bus and Marshrutkas network not optimized: O/D logic on many links while traffic<br />

need to be consolidated on strong corridors to offer better and cheaper service,<br />

- Some areas in the city center and in the dense suburbs are not served by a heavy<br />

<strong>transport</strong> mode (light rail for instance),<br />

- Bad connections between suburbs.<br />
