Australasia has one of the oldest BRT systems; the Adelaide North East Busway which has been operating for over 15 years. It also has some of the worlds newest systems. The Brisbane South East Busway, the Brisbane Inner Northern Busway, and the Sydney Liverpool-Parramatta Transitway have now been operating for between 1 to 4 years. This paper reviews the experiences of Australasian BRT systems by describing each system, measuring current performance and identifying lessons learned with their implementation. The paper also describes the future for BRT development in Australasia. It then outlines performance from a market, urban development and operational viewpoint. Lessons learned are then outlined mainly sourced from interviews with system operators. A description of plans for future system development is then presented followed by a discussion of the main findings of the review.
