Quick Solution For Rapid Urbanized Cities: BRT

By 2050, 70% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas, amounting to 6.8 billion people. As a consequence, urban passenger transport is projected to grow by 60-70% by 2050, which means a growth in traffic. Africa and Asia will see the largest increase in urban populations. By 2030, Africa will have 41 megacities and the continent is projected to double its population by 2050, reaching 2.5 billion. One out of two Africans will live in a city. Most of the growth in the African urban population will occur in small cities. Rapid urbanization will be a big matter for cities. One of the big challenges to provide mobility to those who are living in emerging cities. Quick response and action are key to cover daily mobility needs and of course to fight congestion. In many cities the Bus Rapid Transit System, BRT, is offered as an easy and quick solution for moving passengers. In this webinar, decision criteria behind the scenes, how to implement and operate BRT system successfully will be discussed.
