Abstract

This report, which is published as a two-volume set, identifies the potential range of bus rapid transit (BRT) applications through 26 case studies and provides planning and implementation guidelines for BRT. This report will be useful to policy-makers, chief executive officers, senior managers, and planners. This volume, Volume 2, covers the main components of BRT and describes BRT concepts, planning considerations, key issues, the system development process, desirable conditions for BRT, and general planning principles. It also provides an overview of system types and elements, including stations, vehicles, services, fare collection, running ways, and intelligent transportation system applications. Volume 1 provides information on the potential range of BRT applications, covering planning and implementation background and system description, including operations and physical elements. Both volumes issued under TCRP Report 90 can be found on the TRB website at national academies.org/trb. (Author/Publisher)
