Douala BRTReorganizing the transport network around BRT

Lieu : Cameroon

Client : City of Douala

Date : 2021 - 2022

Le projet

In 2019, the City of Douala adopted a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), which proposes the medium-term construction of a network of 49 km of BRT lines. Two corridors with a total length of 28km have been identified as priorities and are already being studied.

The success of this project presupposes improved feeder conditions on BRT corridors. The PMUS therefore calls for the restructuring of urban bus services to improve their level of service (speed, frequency, etc.) and ensure complementarity with BRT services.

The aim is to identify the roads concerned and design the facilities needed to improve the level of service for the BRT services identified. The study also covers infrastructure dedicated to formal and informal public transport and to non-motorized modes of transport.

The aim of the assignment is to produce preliminary and APD level studies in order to draw up tender documents for the works considered as priorities.

At the same time, the study will address the following issues:

  • summary assessment of social and environmental impacts, as well as socio-economic analysis of all investments
  • a study of the constraints and recommendations for the implementation of an integrated fare and ticketing system for public transport in Douala.

Nos missions

The assignment covers studies to reorganize the bus network and develop the supporting roads, covering a total length of 80km.

The studies are organized into 5 missions:

    • Mission 1: Site survey
      • Characteristics of roads and road facilities, infrastructure for public transport services
      • Traffic and safety conditions
      • Characterizing their level of service
      • Identifying what needs to be done
    • Mission 2: Preliminary studies and socio-economic assessment
      • Preliminary study of developments (roads, TC infrastructure and equipment, urban development, etc.)
      • Tariff integration study
      • Environmental and social impact analysis
      • Socio-economic study of the entire program
    • Mission 3: Priority investment program
    • Mission 4: Preliminary design study (APD)
      • topographic, geotechnical and hydraulic studies
      • design of feeder roads and public spaces (including street furniture, intersections and traffic lights)
      • design of operating equipment (terminal infrastructure, depots, rolling stock, ticketing systems, etc.)
    • Mission 5: Dossier de Consultation des Entreprises (DCE)
