Read insights from the CEOs of public transport operators in two pioneering BRT cities: Curitiba, Brazil and Dakar, Senegal.
Bus Rapid Transit & UITP
Bus Rapid Transit: it’s in the name! BRT is both fast to implement and fast for passengers. And it is growing fast too. In 2000, 25 cities had BRT systems. Today that number is closer to 200.
Since the first system launched in 1974, BRT has been a significant innovation for buses. It is high-capacity, accelerates electrification, supports multimodality, and drives transit-oriented development.
In short, BRT builds better cities. And BRT is vital to Latin America and Asia-Pacific; two regions home to over half of all BRT networks.
To celebrate 50 years of BRT, UITP gathered the public transport world in its home of Curitiba, Brazil. And for the next 50 years, UITP will continue to advance BRT to make mobility more accessible and sustainable worldwide.
