BRT Systems in Latin America
Submitted by Chris Ward on June 24, 20083 Comments
Above is an interactive map highlighting many of the BRT systems currently in operation or under construction in Latin America. As you can see, this efficient, cost-effective approach to transportation management is quickly becoming a standard across the region. And while Latin America cities have been BRT pioneers, the technology is catching on around the world.
Stay tuned for more detailed info on BRT systems in Central and South America, as well as the rest of the world.
[...] Rapid Transit (a.k.a BRT) is a hot topic in sustainable transport. In Latin America alone, dozens of new BRT systems have recently come online or are under development, and numerous transport experts are hailing BRT as a cost-effective means for improving mass [...]

Thanks for this map! BTW, a recent article by Alan Gilbert in Transport Reviews (vol. 28, issue 4) provides a sympathetic but sobering review of Bogota’s Transmilenio BRT system and the challenges it is now facing. Essential reading to understand that BRT is much more than just the engineering.
