Bus Rapid Transit: Synthesis of Case Studies

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2003
Bus rapid transit systems have grown in popularity in recent years. Spurred by federal initiatives, the spiraling cost of rail transit, and market realities, a growing number of cities have installed or are planning bus rapid transit (BRT). There is a synthesis of current experience, drawing on ongoing research conducted in a project for TCRP.

Bus Rapid Transit Technologies in the Americas: An Overview

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2000
Results from a survey of international bus rapid transit (BRT) systems reveal a wide range of technology options for implementing a BRT system. Eight BRT systems (seven existing and one under development) in North and South America demonstrate innovative applications of five bus technology components—vehicles, guideways and stations, control systems ...

Bus Rapid Transit in the United States

Built Environment, 2010
A decade ago, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) was poised for rapid expansion in the USA. The US Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced a ten-city BRT demonstration programme and an action plan was released seeking deployment of BRT in twenty-two cities by 2008. In 2004, the FTA released 'Characteristics of Bus Rapid Transit for Decision-Making' (CBRT),

Bus rapid transit as a neoliberal contradiction

Journal of Transport Geography, 2015
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is being implemented as a neoliberal project, but it creates contradictions that challenge the premise of neoliberalism. BRT projects are affordable rapid transit infrastructure, but they are also an impetus to restructure the urban bus sector in developing cities with informal mass transport.

Bus Rapid Transit, Design and Engineering of

2014
Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a recently developed low-cost bus-based alternative to metro and tram systems. A BRT system emulates the performance and amenities of modern rail-based transit systems, including segregated rights of way, closed stations, and pre-board ticketing.

Africa's First Bus Rapid Transit System

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2010
Africa'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

Bus Rapid Transit in Australasia An Update on Progress

Built Environment, 2010
Between 2006 and 2010 BRT systems in Australasia have increased by 216 route km (200%), mostly on established systems. There has been a significant rise in BRT ridership which increased from 37 million passengers per annum to 86 million passengers per annum. Most ridership growth occurred in systems which were already in operation in 2006.

Initiating Bus Rapid Transit in Jakarta, Indonesia

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2005
On February 1, 2004, a 12.9-km (8-mi) bus rapid transit (BRT) line began revenue operation in Jakarta, Indonesia. The BRT line has incorporated most of the characteristics of BRT systems. The line was implemented in only 9 months at a cost of less than US$1 million/km ($1.6 million/mi). Two additional lines are scheduled to begin operation in 2005 and

Scheduling Problem for Bus Rapid Transit Routes

2015
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system plays an important role in public transport. In order to improve BRT operation quality, the headway optimization and scheduling combination are considered. Based on an existing model, this work proposes a modifying model that overcomes the limitation of the old one.
