Dedicated Public Transport Lines as a Factor in Reducing Noise Exposure

Public transport is the focal point of urban space, which simultaneously provides the social, economic and environmental components of human well-being. With the development of the urban transport system, the degree of motorization in urban environment begins to decrease gradually, and the chemical and physical parameters of the impact on a human body represented by air pollution from exhaust gases and high levels of noise exposure are minimized. The complex of dedicated lanes will create an advantage for public transport when choosing a method of transportation among representatives of the urban population. Dedicated lanes will contribute to the reorientation of human thinking and thereby help reduce the need for daily use of a passenger car and the level of motorization in general. For the carrier, the dedicated lanes will attract additional passenger traffic, and, accordingly, revenue. By reducing the time to travel between control points, it will be possible to increase the regularity of traffic without adding additional units of rolling stock to the route.
