Book Summary
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is commonly discussed as an affordable way for cities to build sustainable rapid transport infrastructure. This book is the first to offer an in-depth analysis of BRT, examining the opportunities it presents along with the significant challenges cities face in its implementation.

A wide range of contributors bring expertise in fields ranging from engineering, planning and public policy to economics and urban design from both developed and developing countries, to provide a big picture assessment of BRT as part of a process for restructuring transit systems. Academically rigorous, based on 5 years of research conducted by the BRT Centre of Excellence, the book is written in an accessible style making it a valuable resource for academic researchers and postgraduate students as well as policy makers and practitioners.
