Abstract

This paper shows how to assess the costs and effects of various bus rapid transit (BRT) components and systems. Analysis of six illustrative BRT systems found that, as development costs increase, there is a consistent reduction in travel times and a consistent growth in BRT ridership. Existing experience suggests that the systems exhibiting permanence would have the greatest land development benefits.
