Context Matters? An Empirical Study
Walking Distance (m) Arterial-Edge Integrated-Boulevard Below-Expressway Mean 475 649 580 Median 412 520 458 Maximum 1635 2023 2738
Some implications:
1. A walking-friendly transit corridor can enlarge
catchment area significantly.
=> i.e.,The “Integrated-boulevard “ lengthens BRT access
walk distance by 150-170m controlling for confounding
factors.
2. Accounting for corridor type and station context may
improve transit ridership demand analysis in China.
3. Stop building superblocks and learn from the old
typologies.
=> More mixed use, less building setback, traffic calming
measures, parking restrictions, etc.

Brtod Principals for China- A Broader Vision 1. Start with good DNAs: Small block instead of superblock 2. Develop walking & biking friendly neighborhoods and streets 3. Integrate BRT with other transit systems 4. Zone for mixed use 5. Match density to transit capacity 6. Create compact regions with short commutes 7. Increase mobility by regulating parking and road use
