- 28. Conclusions • Right of wayinvasions- enforcement • Technology – fare system isnot usually ready when BRT is first deployed. Bettertimingin the implementations´proceduresis needed. • Operator – drivers´ training, timingis also an issue • Design – expert advice might help • Negotiationswith former – current operator: thorough knowledge of the system • Planning – the new system must alwaysbenefit usersin the door to door trip. Expert advice might help • Finances– review of demand studiesand businessplan
