The article discusses Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) which uses buses engineered to operate like a subway on wheels. According to the author, for the first time in human civilization more people live in the urban areas rather than rural areas and the need for a reduction in pollution and traffic volume is essential. Topics include an overview of BRT including

International Journal of Urban Sciences, 2013
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has been demonstrated to provide efficient and effective public transport that can even increase transit ridership and attractiveness within defined urban corridors in both developing and developed countries. The merit of the BRT system lies in its ability to provide a high quality public transit service with limited ...

Bus Rapid Transit, Volume 1: Case Studies in Bus Rapid Transit
2003This report, which is published as a two-volume set, identifies the potential range of bus rapid transit (BRT) applications through 26 case studies and provides planning and implementation guidelines for BRT. This report will be useful to policy-makers, chief executive officers, and senior managers.

Africa's First Bus Rapid Transit System
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2010Africa's first bus rapid transit (BRT) scheme became operational in March 2008 in Lagos, Nigeria. Termed “BRT-Lite,” this new form of BRT focuses on the delivery of improved quality of life within a modest budget. The implementation program, from conception to operation, was collapsed into a 15-month time frame; that together with its delivery cost of

Workshop 2 Report: Bus Rapid Transit
Research in Transportation Economics, 2014Workshop 2 examined critical success factors, operational enhancements, appropriate contractual and institutional settings and complementary policies of BRT systems, building off the discussion started two years before in Durban. Even though implementing a BRT corridor is almost always very challenging, the evidence shows that the BRT industry is quite

Built Environment, 2010
Over the last five years, bus rapid transit (BRT) has expanded faster in China than in any other region, with 320 km of BRT systems opened in thirteen cities. These systems were all relatively low capacity, low-to-medium demand systems until the opening of the Guangzhou BRT in February 2010.

Bus Rapid Transit Passenger Support System
Asian Journal of Research in Social Sciences and Humanities, 2017Considering the whole system of the bus transit system since past couple of decades the statistics coin that there has not been any significant improvement in the overall performance of the system until there came the era of IoT, Cloud, and SMAC etc.

Planning for Bus Rapid Transit in Single Dedicated Bus Lane
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2009Bus rapid transit (BRT) systems with dedicated lanes have shown advantages over traditional bus systems and have attracted more transit riders. However, it is not always possible to build BRT systems with double dedicated lanes because of physical and cost constraints. A BRT system with a single dedicated lane is more practical in such situations.

Transit signal priority architecture for bus rapid transit systems
2014 9th Computing Colombian Conference (9CCC), 2014Colombia have experienced the benefits of Bus Rapid Transit systems around its cities. In this paper we describe a transit signal priority architecture for BRT based public transport systems. Multiple implementation scenarios are shown in order to deploy the priority system in diverse cities with different needs and requirements.

Bus Rapid Transit and Light Rail
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2005A parametric cost model was developed to provide both average and marginal cost estimates and to compare annual operating costs for light rail transit (LRT) and bus rapid transit (BRT) under an assumption of additional peak service on weekdays. The model uses readily available data from the U.S. National Transit Database. For illustrative purposes, it
