Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a high-quality, efficient mass transport mode, providing capacity and speed comparable with urban rail (light and heavy rail). Its insertion in urban transport systems is relatively recent and as a result there remains a need to introduce the concept to several audiences, particularly urban transport decision makers, and to better understand its cost, performance and impacts. To that end, this report provides a synthesis of existing literature and new data, and develops a detailed analysis on selected case studies to explore the economic, environmental and social impacts of BRT. This report aims to synthesise available evidence regarding BRT performance, costs and impacts, and contribute new evidence from four case studies: TransMilenio, Bogota, Colombia; Metrobús, Mexico City, Mexico; Rea Vaya, Johannesburg, South Africa; and Metrobüs, Istanbul, Turkey.
