• Abstract:
  This report briefly summarizes the information related to Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) developments in China collected through ; independent research and a visit to China from April 17-26, 2006 as part of FTA Public Transportation Trade Mission. The purpose ; of NBRTI’s participation in the mission was to visit operational BRT systems and to meet with organizations engaged in BRT ; planning or operations in China. By establishing initial contact with such organizations, a channel of communications has been ; opened to exchange information and allow for future cooperation on common problems or programs. Specifically, it is hoped that ; data from BRT systems in China can be included in the update of the FTA publication, “Characteristics of Bus Rapid Transit for ; Decision Making,” to expand the understanding of viable systems and the range of possible performance, cost and benefits. This ; report also synthesizes the relevant background on China’s institutions, demographic and economic growth, policies and initial data ; on BRT systems in China in operations and planning. It concludes with observations and recommendations for future cooperation ; in areas of common interest.
