process
The new public transport system replaces the present convulated bus routes and proposes a simple horizontal and thoroughfare of buses that has larger coverage, better frequency and minimises confusion for new travellers. This would increase the efficiency of public transport
Proposed map of simplified efficient public trasport system:

Based on the current urban planning pattern of the city, we proposed a super-block that would combine 4 blocks. Private transportation and parking is moved outside the super-block, and the interior is freed up to be open public spaces.
Concept of Superblocks in Barcelona:

We mapped the redistribution of the traffic flows based on the current traffic flow data
