Introduction

• Significant transformations happening rapidly throughout Brazil;

• Several BRT studies in distinct phases of design and implementation;

• Need to share detailed information in order to consolidate technical and institutional basis.;

ObjectiveObjective: to catalogue various implementation initiatives of BRT systems in Brazil.

Analysis

• Notable efforts to create reliable and efficient transport systems within the constraints of Brazilian social and economic reality;

• Concerns and actions in order to use financial resources in responsible and transparent manner;

• In some cities, BRT may lead to cost reduction and creation of high quality transport systems;

• Basic elements of BRT systems have been assimilated by all surveyed cities:

• Some cities have projects in advanced stage of development (conception, implementation and future prospects); and

• Others have demonstrated their relative incipience in adopting BRT concepts.

45

Conclusions

• Catalogue of the BRT experiences in 12 Brazilian cities:• Fast transformation to constitute efficient systems;

• BRT studies go beyond meeting the transport needs associated to the World Cup (2014) and the Olympic Games (2016);

• Many challenges in achieving the potential of BRT systems:• creation/consolidation of supporting structures in order

to achieve financial and institutional sustainability;• detailing of projects would contribute to improving

constructive and operational performance; • development of environmental and business plans; and• Strengthening BRT brand.
