Brazilian projects

• BRT:

• Particularly attractive to developing countries; and

• Potential instrument to generate systemic benefits to society;

• Implementation of BRT does not derive from a long term view of

urban planning;

• Some projects in advanced stage of development (conception,

implementation and future prospects);

• Others have demonstrated their relative incipience in adopting

BRT concepts; and

• Does not eliminate deficiencies and shortcomings of urban

planning.

Analysis

• BRT and business opportunities:

• ITS and fleet renew = U$4.1 billion (next 4 years);

• Likely that overseas know-how will be required;

• Many international companies are establishing operations in

Brazil; and

• Brazil is a platform to reach Latin American market.

• Brazilian way of doing business :

• Bureaucracy;

• No governmental subsidy for bus fares;

• Vast majority of operators are still running family-based

companies; and

• Long term approach to reach a mutual trust relationship.

Analysis

• An efficient ($ and time) upgrade of existing systems;

• 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.

Conclusios

•BRT should be understood, conceptualized

and implemented as a part of the system.
