Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a cost-effective mass transportation system characterized by exclusive bus lanes and reduction of travel times, high-passenger capacity and level boarding, and a relatively short construction process. Latin America and Asia are becoming the world leaders of BRT with 63.26% and 26.43% of world ridership, respectively. The introduction of BRT systems in these emerging countries raises the question of how a BRT network shapes citywide development, and in turn, what cities can do to ensure that public transport is a positive force in shaping environmentally sustainable and economically equitable cities.
