Analysis
• Notable efforts to create reliable and efficient transport systems within
the constraints of Brazilian social and economic reality;
• Concerns and actions in order to use financial resources in responsible
and transparent manner;
• In some cities, BRT may lead to cost reduction and creation of high
quality transport systems;
• Basic elements of BRT systems have been assimilated by all surveyed
cities:
• Some cities have projects in advanced stage of development
(conception, implementation and future prospects); and
• Others have demonstrated their relative incipience in adopting
BRT concepts.

45. 45
Conclusions
• Catalogue of the BRT experiences in 12 Brazilian cities:
• Fast transformation to constitute efficient systems;
• BRT studies go beyond meeting the transport needs
associated to the World Cup (2014) and the Olympic Games
(2016);
• Many challenges in achieving the potential of BRT systems:
• creation/consolidation of supporting structures in order
to achieve financial and institutional sustainability;
• detailing of projects would contribute to improving
constructive and operational performance;
• development of environmental and business plans; and
• Strengthening BRT brand.
