Samenvatting
Much has been offered to convince decision makers that busways are the least costly of fixed-guide way services in medium density urban corridors. Until recently, these claims could be questioned but not refuted because a thorough analysis of comparable busway and light rail transit (LRT) does not exits. Now a study show that, although LRT and busway costs are similar for equal facilities, LRT exhibits substantial operating cost, operation, and service advantages.
