Title: BUS RAPID TRANSIT: AN ALTERNATIVE FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Abstract: Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) combines the benefits of light rail transit with the flexibility and efficiency of bus transit. The goal of BRT development is to enhance ridership and reduce operating costs with increased service levels and quality. A BRT system combines the technology of intelligent transportation systems, traffic signal priority, cleaner and quieter vehicles, rapid and convenient fare collection, and integration with land use policy. BRT has demonstrated improvements in public transportation service and enabled improvements that can be implemented at relatively low cost. This paper presents the benefits of the BRT system in developing countries using the BRT system in Bogot, Colombia as a case study.
