The Bus Rapid Transit Planning Guide covers everything from project preparation to implementation for state-of-the-art and cost-effective urban public transport solutions.

The Guide was developed through support from UNEP, Global Environment Facility (GEF), the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and GTZ. Currently available in English, the Bus Rapid Transit Planning Guide is being translated into Chinese, Portuguese, and Spanish. |
