Abstract
Public transportation is always one of the most significant types of transportation modes. Any weakness in the bus transportation systems and not providing the necessary infrastructure will lead to an increase in traffic junctions. Large and populated cities such as Rasht, in addition to the normal taxi and bus systems, need transportation modes with the ability to move more passengers. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of locating the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in the streets of Rasht. Therefore, by examining different parameters and using different methods, the possibility of implementing BRT lanes is examined. In this study, the information of the bus fleet, comprehensive traffic plan and other demographic information of Rasht city were examined using fuzzy hierarchical analysis methods. based on the results of the analysis, the first priorities for the construction of special lines for BRT lanes were identified.
