Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the evolution of the observed speeds in bus lines of the bus service of the city of São Paulo between the periods of August 2013 and April 2015. In that period, a series of dedicated bus lanes were imple-mented across the city with the aim to prioritize the public transportation in those roads. To accomplish this, we have devel-oped an algorithm that enables us to calculate travel times of bus lines through data from on board GPS devices. The algorithm was applied to 20 weekdays in August 2013, prior to the implementation of the dedicated bus lanes, and again in April 2015, when the set of these lanes was fully operational. Two large sets of bus lines were selected to be analyzed: 68 lines that did not had any relation to dedicated lanes, and 240 bus lines that had at least a small length of their respective itineraries along dedicated bus lanes. The results show that, while the non-benefited lines had a slight average increase of 0,39% in median speeds for trips departing between 18h-19h period, i.e., in the most critical evening peak, lines from the benefited group had an expressive increase of 9,13% in their speeds. However, we also observed that the distribution of speed improvements is uneven, and some lines had reduction of median speeds during this period, in spite of dedicated bus lane benefits.
