Classification of indexes and subindexes for evaluation of the bus lane and BRT.

Indexes	Sub-indexes
BRT basic principles	The exclusive right of way
	Existence of a special bus route
	Methods of fares collection
	The circumstance of the line connection at intersections
	Station level compared to the route level
	Existence of parallel routes
	Moving or stopping buses at stations
	Control center
Service planning	Located in one of the main corridors
	Passenger demand at different hours
	Service hours
	A network composed of several corridors
	Existence of broken center line on the stations’ route
	Amount of pollutants emissions
Infrastructures	Distance between stations in the center of intersections
	Existence of stations with two-way route
	Pavement quality
	Distance between stations
	Convenience and safety of stations
	The number of bus doors
Stations	The possibility of entering and leaving two buses side by side in one direction
	Existence of sliding doors at the station
	Particular signs and symbols for the station
Notification systems	Passengers informing
	Access of all people (the disabled)
	Connection with other modes of public transport
	Pedestrians’ access
Access and integrity	Secure parking space for bicycle
