Bus rapid transit – a review

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

Scientific American, 2009
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

Curitiba, the Cradle of Bus Rapid Transit

Built Environment, 2010
Since the 1970s Curitiba's administrators have constantly achieved innovations with the city's bus-based transit system through performance and capacity improvements. Originally, the bus system evolved from conventional buses in mixed traffic to busways, which were later fitted with at-level boarding, prepayment and articulated buses, creating the ...

Bus Rapid Transit in China

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.

Workshop 2 Report: Bus Rapid Transit [PDF]

open access: possibleResearch in Transportation Economics, 2014
Workshop 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

Planning for Bus Rapid Transit in Single Dedicated Bus Lane

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2009
Bus 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.
