Architectus collaborated with Gehl Architects to develop a Bus Rapid Transit urban design strategy for Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
The B-Line Northern Beaches Bus Rapid Bus Transit (BRT) realises a once-in-a-generation change to improve transport time and reduce congestion along one of Sydney’s most challenging transport corridors.
Northern Beaches BRT is a kerb-side system that combines the capacity and speed of light rail with the flexibility, lower cost and simplicity of a bus system. The BRT utilises existing roadways with the incorporation of dedicated lanes (red roads) to achieve a highly efficient public transport outcome.
High frequency bus precincts and interchanges facilitate a convenient and transparent bus network with high-quality customer facilities, real-time passenger information and an identifiable brand. The BRT will drive urban renewal in this popular and high-amenity region of Sydney.
The project included two phases:
