This book is the first to offer an in-depth analysis of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), examining the opportunities it presents along with the significant challenges cities face in its implementation. A wide range of contributors bring expertise from both developed and developing countries, to provide a big picture assessment of BRT as part of a process for restructuring transit systems.

About the Author
Juan Carlos Munoz has developed parallel careers as a university professor, policy advisor and entrepreneur. He connects academia and practice by addressing problems needing well-conceived and robust answers, and by bringing innovative ideas for transport systems. Laurel Paget-Seekins went from being a community organiser to academic researcher to public agency administrator. She uses this experience to build interdisciplinary and community-academic-government collaboration to restructure public transport and urban space.

Reviews

??"A very thorough and comprehensive review of the role of Bus Rapid Transit, drawing on a wide range of in-depth research.
