A linear city can develop main traffic co-oridors along the

length with feeder routes by bus. This type of urban form
is also knows as ‘ribbon development’, characterized by
concentration of development along both sides major
transportation routes such as road, navigable river etc.

 Radial and circumferential pattern is more suitable for bus
operation as routing can be flexible. The radials from the major
arterials which can be served by rail or bus. A linear city can
develop main traffic corridors along the length with feeder
routes by bus. This type of urban from is also know as
