The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a bus-based public transport system that increase the effectiveness of public transportation through dedicated lanes with busways and independent stations. However, the pedestrian routes disorder at the station, the high density and the interaction between pedestrians produce high waiting times since the entrance at the station until the board at the bus. The present research proposes a management of pedestrian mobility focused on modify the pedestrian routes and adapting the entrance and exit of the station. The main objective of the investigation is reducing the waiting times of users at the station. Users waiting times at the station were measured by visiting a BRT station located in the city of Lima. The collection of information makes it possible to establish the peak pedestrian traffic hours and demonstrate that users can spend more time at the station than on the bus. The improvement proposal was simulated in Vissim software in order to determine its reducing waiting times efficiency. The results show that users waiting times at the station were reduced by 25%. On the other hand, the pedestrian density and conflict points between pedestrians decreased by 44% and 73% respectively. Finally, increase in the pedestrian velocity of the corridors was obtained by 37%.
