- W2029406465 abstract "This paper on advanced bus transit systems is from the proceedings of 14th International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment in the 21st Century, which was held in Malta in 2008. The authors contend that most of developing countries lack the necessary financial and planning resources to establish rail-based systems (metro, light rail), so the need for bus-based public transport technology is inevitable, independent of any political desires and programs. They describe how unorganized private minibuses (“paratransit”) are currently taking a growing share of mobility in large cities in developing nations, causing major environmental and traffic problems due to inefficient use of roadspace and outdated vehicle technology. They propose the use of advanced bus systems, such as “Bus Rapid Transit” (BRT) systems, which have proven successful and economically efficient in a number of Latin American and European conurbations, as a potential solution that is based on readily-available vehicle technology and local capacities in conventional road building. The authors conclude that the sustainability balance, the transportation performance, and the financial requirements of these systems are very positive, especially when coordinated with an integrated town-planning approach." @default.
