Executive Summary:

Bus rapid transit (BRT), also called a busway or transitway, is a bus-


based public transport system designed to improve capacity and reliability relative to a
conventional bus system. Typically, a BRT system includes roadways that are
dedicated to buses, and gives priority to buses at intersections where buses may
interact with other traffic; alongside design features to reduce delays caused by
passengers boarding or leaving buses, or purchasing fares. BRT aims to combine the
capacity and speed of a metro with the flexibility, lower cost and simplicity of a bus
system.

The first BRT system was the Rede Integrada de Transporte ('Integrated
Transportation Network') in Curitiba, Brazil, which entered service in 1974.

As of March 2018, a total of 167 cities in six continents have implemented BRT
systems, accounting for 4,976 km (3,048 mi) of BRT lanes and about 32.5 million
passengers every day, of which about 19.6 million passengers ride daily in Latin
America, which has the most cities with BRT systems, with 54, led by Brazil with 21
cities. The Latin American countries with the most daily ridership are Brazil (10.7M),
Colombia (3.06M), and Mexico (2.5M). In the other regions, China (4.3M) and Iran
(2.1M) also stand out.[3] Currently, TransJakarta is considered as the largest BRT
network in the world with approximately 251.2 kilometres (156.1 mi) of corridors
connecting the Indonesian capital city.

The Lahore Metrobus is a bus rapid transit service operating in Lahore Punjab,
Pakistan. Lahore Metrobus service is integrated with Lahore Transport Company's local
bus service to operate as one urban transport system, providing seamless transit
service across Lahore District with connections to neighboring suburban communities.
The Lahore Metrobus was designed to be opened in stages, with the first stage
opening on 11 February 2013 stretching from Gajumata to Shahadra. The 27 km
stretch was opened during a ceremony by Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif
along with Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey Bekir Bozdağ
