This book was released on 2016-01-10 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is increasingly being discussed as an affordable way for cities to build sustainable rapid transit infrastructure. This is the first book to examine the opportunities presented by BRT along with the significant challenges cities face in the implementation of successful systems. The difficulties can be myriad: new institutional relationships have to be developed among governments, operators, and the public; projects have to be designed and implemented to handle large passenger flows in the most efficient manner possible; and these changes are not taking place on a blank slate, but within existing transportation systems, political and cultural contexts, and urban development patterns. Addressing these challenges from an international perspective and across a range of disciplines, from urban planning to public policy and economics, contributors offer technical solutions to specific problems and identify what still needs to be done to realize their vision of global sustainable transport.

Book excerpt: This study explores the institutional implications of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as a technological innovation. As an alternative to rail-based mass transit systems, bus rapid transit has emerged as an adaptable and cost-effective means of providing high quality urban mobility. Since its development in Curitiba, Brazil in 1974, over 140 cities have since gone on to implement BRT. While the technological features of BRT are well understood, the role of various stakeholders, institutions, and planning processes is often underemphasized, despite holding the key to successful implementation. By focusing on the experience of Bogota, Colombia and Johannesburg, South Africa in incorporating existing transportation service providers into new BRT systems, this study explores the institutional implications of innovation and the embedding of new planning practices into local contexts. By addressing these questions, I hope to shed light on the processes of innovation and diffusion, so that planners, policy makers, and other stakeholders can be better informed when implementing new technologies such as bus rapid transit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook of urban transportation planning presents case studies detailing 40 best practices from 33 states in the U.S. and 19 countries on six continents. Cities around the world have improved transportation options for their citizens. Roadways have seen the addition of walkways and bicycle lanes, and light-rail transit systems have reduced street traffic. These cities have decreased reliance on personal cars and enhanced their urban environments by reducing congestion, pollution, and the number and width of roadways. This volume discusses the dynamic field of urban transportation planning and provides resources for planning professionals and public officials interested in obtaining additional information on the latest trends.

This book was released on 2016-01-10 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is commonly discussed as an affordable way for cities to build sustainable rapid transport infrastructure. This book is the first to offer an in-depth analysis of BRT, examining the opportunities it presents along with the significant challenges cities face in its implementation. A wide range of contributors from both developed and developing countries bring expertise in fields ranging from engineering, planning and public policy to economics and urban design to provide a big picture assessment of BRT as part of a process for restructuring transit systems. Academically rigorous, based on five years of research conducted by the BRT Centre of Excellence in Chile, the book is written in an accessible style making it a valuable resource for academic researchers and postgraduate students as well as policy makers and practitioners.
