Increased satisfaction in bus service by 36% (based on surveys).Increased bicycle trips in the corridor by an average of 45% from 2009 to 2010.Estimated traveling cost savings of $24 million in 2010.Increased average mixed traffic speed along the bus corridor by 20%.Increased average bus speed of buses along the bus corridor by 29%.Since 2010, Guangzhou has constructed over 2,000 km of greenways, making the city a global leader in this new concept. Guangzhou also possesses a renowned "greenway" network - corridors exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists, which provide a safe and convenient way to get about the city. Guangzhou's Bus Rapid Transit system ensures mobility for the city's more than 8 million population. It is also the first BRT system worldwide with a bike sharing system planned and implemented at the same time along the corridor. As such, it has the one of the world's highest BRT bus flows, with one bus every 10 seconds into the city in the morning rush hour the first high-capacity BRT system worldwide to operate "direct service" routes, which means it has no terminals and no interchanges, and uses predominantly regular 12-meter buses. With 23 kilometers (km) of bus corridor, it carries around 1 million passengers a day, or 35,000 passengers per hour per direction, and riders are seamlessly connected to both the metro system and the city's new bike-share network. The Guangzhou BRT (GZ-BRT), which is more than three times bigger than any BRT system in Asia, has set many world firsts. Guangzhou, the third-largest city in the People's Republic of China (PRC) and one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, has gained global attention for its successful Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), unveiled in February 2010. Shinjuku station in Tokyo, Japan is one of the busiest stations in the world in terms of passenger numbers, and is one of the successful models of transit-oriented development. This model has allowed Tokyo to achieve one of the highest rates of public transit usage and gave city dwellers the freedom to view automobile ownership as a lifestyle choice rather than a necessity. Though they receive little financial support from the government, private railways in Japan achieve profitability by diversifying into real estate, retail, and numerous other businesses. Acting as community hubs, served by frequent, all-day, rail rapid transit and are accessed primarily on foot, by bicycle, or by public transit, these RICs turn riders into customers, and vice versa, at all times of day.
They are home to many "rail-integrated communities" (RICs): high-density, safe, mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly developments around railway stations. In addition to efficiency, Tokyo's railway station areas have also emerged as models of transit-oriented development (TOD). Tokyo, the capital of Japan and one of the world's biggest megacities, is known for having the most efficient railway systems in the world.
