For cities investing in public transit infrastructure, Bus Rapid
Transit (BRT) continues to grow as a popular mode of choice. BRT
implementation, planning, operation, performance and impacts, from
a wide range of developed and developing cities across the globe
are examined in depth in this exemplary book, with contributions by
academics and practical experts on BRT. Each chapter is
self-contained, presenting empirical research and grounded examples
of BRT in specific urban spaces. Providing rich insight, the
chapters also suggest lessons for cities elsewhere. As a whole, the
book frames the chapters with the question of how BRT is valued,
providing a timely lens to the broader conceptual question of how
transport infrastructure can and ought to be valued in the
twenty-first century. Urban and transport studies scholars will
find this an invaluable read, as it compares BRT to similar forms
of public transport in cities, exploring the pros and cons of the
system. The rich set of empirical examples and research suggestions
in this book will aid advanced students in determining dissertation
and research topics. Contributors include: B. Adhvaryu, C.
