6. 2 lanes + elevated road 3-lane carriageway New capacity from elevated road 3,000 4,700 Passenger capacity: passengers per hour per direction +60% If car use grows at 10% per year, all the new capacity will be exhausted in 5 years

8. Metro network 78 km existing 76 km planned

9. After finishing metro lines 3, 4, 5 ParisLondonMexico CityBeijingCairo 10.413.68.613.619 Population (million) 807466283466154 Rapid transit (km)

15. 2 lanes + elevated road 3-lane carriageway Using road space efficiently 3,000 Passenger capacity: passengers per hour per direction 4,700

16. 2 lanes + elevated road 3-lane carriageway Using road space efficiently Dedicated lanes for bus rapid transit 3,000 4,700 12,000+ passengers per hour per direction Passenger capacity:

17. The world’s best BRTs were implemented in 2-3 years

18. Transmilenio – Bogotá, Colombia 41 km first phase in 3 years

19. Metrobus – Mexico City, Mexico First 20 km in 2 years

20. TransCarioca - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 39 km in 3 years

21. Rapid transit capacity

22. What can be built with $1 billion?

23. Bus Rapid Transit: High quality High capacity High speed Customer oriented Not an old bus running in a bus lane!

24. BRT around the world

25. Fast expansion in BRT networks

26. Ensuring Quality

27. Supporting rapid transit

28. 1. Modern city buses
