Abstract
Proper integrated public transport system is the need of the time which can enhance public mobility by providing
state of the art transport services to daily commuters. In this paper, Lahore City is taken as a case study and an
integrated public transport system for Lahore is proposed. The goal of an integrated public transport system for
Lahore was to propose an optimized public transport network, which can cater the ever-increasing transport
demand by providing coverage to the whole city through a mix of primary/mass transit, secondary/express,
tertiary/feeder & suburban routes. The service would provide a high level of service by ensuring a speedy,
frequent and easily accessible public transport to reduce car/ motorcycle dependency/ownership. The network
aims at providing public transport access for residents in the study area at a maximum walking distance of 500
meters and offers a sustainable, comfortable, safe and secure public transportation system. Based on demand
estimates taken from surveys, an integrated public transport network having 122 routes was proposed for the
city.
