Abstract:

This report summarizes the background, status, and lesson from BRT plans and operations in three South American cities—Bogotá, Colombia; Pereira, Colombia; and Guayaquil, Ecuador— gathered through independent research, technical visits, and meetings with operators and officials on February 11-16, 2007. Pereira’s Megabús and Guayaquil’s Metrovía represent the latest generation of BRT systems in South America being modeled after Bogotá’s very successful TransMilenio system. The findings of this report focus on observations about cost-effective investments and standards, service and operations models, and institutional models to improve the performance and sustainability of BRT. The findings of these visits were presented to technical audiences and the data collected will be incorporated into forthcoming BRT planning guidance for the Federal Transit Administration.
