Public Transportation Design In World

      
        Public transportation habits depends  on peoples cultural , historical and sociologic background. Of course fi  , and china...These countries are really crowded, and they are newly developing too.  Lack of urban infrastructure , forced these  countries to use that kind of public transportation systems. Other alternatives like light rail systems are too complex , expensive and hard to build .Success of these public transport systems call attention of authorities and 1^st world countries. 

.

1sr world countries like west Europe and north Europe are plan to use these systems too. Newyork mayor has already  announced its new public transportation system as   Bus Rapid Transit system. 1^st world countries are superior on urban planning and infrastructure. In these countries    people   are in demand of green energy and sustainibility too .in them distances are shorter and congestion is not really big deal. But in emerging markets congestion is terrible . distances betw

een are long ,and there is huge demand for public transportation. My observations show that 7o percent of traffic accidents occurs in developing countries and emerging markets.

-In world there are 1.3 billion poor people around  and 75 percent of these people are woman , depending to their gender and social roles .These peoples usage of public

transportation and travelling patterns are slightly different.

-in emerging markets vehicle and traffic safety is big problem ,this is because of  lack of decent driver education.

-In emerging markets , destinations are short and stations are too crowded.

-In 1^st world 40 percent of customers who are using public transportations are old and disabled .

-in 1^st world people are eating and and drinking something in buses and trains.

-Lastly in 1^st world are in demand of carrying   their pet and listening of music loudly

FUTURE TRENDS FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

 As you now we are in the age of sustainability . All products ,all materials which we produced have to be environmental friendly .With respect to these facts . A new concept has born in the creative industry , graphic designers told it good design ,architects call it green design introduce designers called it sustainability.Nowadays for a designer designer sustainability is a must instead of a concept. 

    As you know for urban life , transportation is really important , every modern working or non working individuals have to use public transportation and it seems that bus transportation is still one of the most popular way traveling .

-Energy consumption of the bus per people/km is one-third of that of a car

-Buses are only responsible for about 5% of the CO2 emissions

which is generated by vehicles

-Capacity of buses, single bus: 120 / articulated bus: 150

  to sum up buses are fantastic they are cheap,flexible and they rely meets the expectation of customers both capacity and speed.and they are the first competitors of mighty private motorized transportation

For universal aspect buses are the still the best solution for balanced and sustainable transport   Let me say something about new trends of public transportation I mean bus transportation

-Low architecture floor

Low architecture floor buses are really comfortable and gives you very easy boarding they have a great advantages for disabled  people . Low architecture floor also provides physiological  trust to user.

-Bus rapid transit lines,

these rapid transit lines are really popular in my country they work like tramway or subway. Bus rapid transit lines have their own  space in road so they have no traffic problem.

-guiding devices Actually this is to the new concept but as you know buses generally lack of guiding devices it is not a big deal maybe for you but it can be life saver for a foreigner.

-Double articulated vehicles

With that technology buses can carry up to 215 person which is good for economy and efficiency

TOP 5 CONCEPT BUS DESIGN (NEW WAY OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION)

1- Cozy new face of iconic British double Decker, if you have ever been in London, you should have been already meet with classic double deckers. This boy has been designed by Heatherwrick studios . It looks hot with that cross window thing, after 50 years of usage of old iconic double deckers , I guess it right time to change them with something new cool and more green.

2- Largest bus for overcrowded country china,I am not sure is designing longest bus for solving public transport problem of China. I suppose that Chinese people prefer bicycles for transportation , I think they should continue their habit for better and environmental friendly china.The Superliner can carry more than 300 people wow

3- The credo e-bone concept bus design by Hungarian designer. I do not know the meaning the credo e-bone but if I were the designer I would choose different name like snail this pretty snail like vehicle is zero emission and powered by hydrogen fuel cells

4- Ikarus bus concept from Ukraine , student project for tourists , at least they say so not the best design but it looks okay for me as you designing like this kind of big vehicles Is not easy .Furthermore being successful is harder.

5- Here is an interesting design , it is 100 percent green, but I can be little tired having a seat in this bus. Casimir Sienkiewicz and his team invented this vehicle. 10 of 14 passenger have to be available for properly working travel experience.
