Kumar, AjayZimmerman, SamuelAgarwal, O.P.2013-03-282013-03-282012-01https://hdl.handle.net/10986/13049It is in this context that this study has been undertaken to document BRT case studies in terms of the political setting, institutions/governance, public involvement and communications, service/operations/management and planning and their relationship to investment performance. The study has been undertaken in recognition of the fact that successful implementation and operation of BRT systems often reflects non-physical actors like leadership, communications, organizational structure, service planning and operating practices rather than the design of transitways, stations, terminals and vehicles. This paper does not seek to compare BRT with other forms of public transport but only seeks to evaluate a sample of BRT systems in terms of the softer issues that have contributed making a BRT system successful or not so successful.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESSIBILITYACCIDENTSAIRAIR QUALITYARTERIAL STREETSAUTOMOBILESBRIDGEBRIDGE CROSSINGSBRIDGESBUNCHINGBUSBUS COMPANIESBUS COMPANYBUS FINANCEBUS LANEBUS NETWORKBUS OPERATIONSBUS OPERATORSBUS OWNERSBUS ROUTESBUS SERVICEBUS SERVICESBUS SYSTEMBUS SYSTEMSBUS TRANSPORTBUSWAYSCARCAR OWNERSHIPCARRIAGEWAYCARSCHASSISCLIMATE CHANGECOMMERCIAL PASSENGER TRANSPORTCOMMUTERSCONGESTIONCONGESTION PROBLEMSCONSTRUCTIONCORRIDOR SERVICECOST OF CONGESTIONDAILY TRIPSDEFICITSDRIVERSDRIVERS OF BUSESDRIVINGEMISSIONSENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY VEHICLESEXPRESS SERVICESEXTERNALITIESFARE BOXFARE BOX REVENUESFARE COLLECTIONFARE COLLECTORSFARE EVASIONFARE REVENUESFARESFEEDER SERVICESFINANCE INFRASTRUCTUREFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFIXED COSTSFLOODINGFOSSIL FUELSFRAMEWORKFUELFUEL COSTSGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGPSHIGH RIDERSHIPINCOMEINFRASTRUCTURE COSTSINSPECTIONINSULATIONINSURANCEINTERCHANGESINTERSECTIONSJOURNEYJOURNEYSJUNCTIONSLAND USELANESLIGHT RAILLOCAL BUS SYSTEMLONG TRIPLONGER TRIPSMAIN ROADSMARKINGMASS RAPID TRANSITMASS TRANSITMETRO LINEMETRO SYSTEMMETRO SYSTEMSMETROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATIONMETROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITYMINI-BUSMINI-BUSESMINIBUSMINIBUS OPERATORSMINIBUS SERVICESMINIBUSESMIXED TRAFFICMOBILITYMODAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMMODES OF TRAVELMOTORCYCLEMOTORCYCLESMOTORIZED TRANSPORTNATIONAL RAILWAYNEGATIVE EXTERNALITIESNET BENEFITSOPERATING EXPENSESPARKINGPASSENGERPASSENGER INFORMATIONPASSENGER TRANSPORTPASSENGER TRANSPORT OPERATIONSPASSENGER TRIPSPASSENGERSPASSENGERS PER HOURPATRONAGEPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGSPETROL PRICEPETROL PRICESPOLITICAL POWERPOPULATION DENSITYPORTALSPRIVATE OPERATORSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE TRANSPORTPRIVATE VEHICLEPRIVATE VEHICLESPUBLICPUBLIC INVOLVEMENTPUBLIC PERCEPTIONPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT DEMANDPUBLIC TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODEPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODESPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATORSPUBLIC TRANSPORT PROVISIONPUBLIC TRANSPORT SECTORPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICEPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM MOREPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMSPUBLIC TRANSPORT USERSPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONPUBLIC VEHICLESRADIORAILRAILROADRAILWAYRAILWAY SYSTEMRAPID TRANSITRAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMRAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMSRIDERSRIDERSHIPRIGHT OF WAYRIGHT-OF-WAYRIGHTS OF WAYROADROAD NETWORKROAD SPACEROAD TRANSPORTROAD USEROADSROADWAYROADWAY CONGESTIONROADWAYSROUTEROUTESSAFETYSAFETY ISSUESSAFETY PROBLEMSSERVICE ROADSSHORT TRIPSSIGNAGESMART CARDSSPEEDSPEEDSSUBURBSTAXTAXI OPERATORTAXI OPERATORSTAXI SERVICESTAXISTELEVISIONTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC CONTROLTRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMTRAFFIC LANESTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC POLICETRAFFIC SIGNALSTRAMWAYSTRANSIT INVESTMENTTRANSIT INVESTMENTSTRANSIT OPTIONTRANSIT SYSTEMTRANSPORTTRANSPORT AUTHORITYTRANSPORT MODETRANSPORT NETWORKTRANSPORT OPERATIONSTRANSPORT PLANTRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT PROBLEMSTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMTRAVEL ALTERNATIVESTRAVEL DEMANDTRAVELERSTRAVELLERSTRIPTRIP LENGTHTRIPS PER DAYTRUNK CORRIDORUNDERPINNINGURBAN MOBILITYURBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTURBAN TRAFFICURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT POLICYURBAN TRAVELURBANIZATIONVALUE OF TIMEVEHICLEVEHICLE MAINTENANCEVEHICLE OWNERSVEHICLE REGISTRATIONVEHICLE TRAVELVEHICLE USERSVEHICLESVEHICULAR TRAFFICWALK TRIPSWorld Bank10.1596/13049
