Bus Rapid Transit Planning course – Training Course 
11th December, 2006. Mercure Hotel, Yogyakarta 
 


Dear all
  
  
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is an innovative approach to solve the problems of
public transport in the developing cities. Cities such as Curitiba, Bogotá
and Jakarta have largely benefited by implementing BRT. The whole BRT system
would be worthless if there is no good planning involved. 
  
With our experience in BRT planning and implementation, GTZ-SUTP, will be
offering a training course on Bus Rapid Transit Planning. The course will
describe the key components of a BRT system and give basic tools for
policymakers and technical staff of municipalities to start developing a
successful and high-impact system in their cities. The main objective of
this training course is to introduce participants to the features of BRT and
how it can be applied in their city. 
  
The course will explain the criteria of demand analysis, corridor selection,
operational plan, customer service plan, infrastructure, modal integration,
technology, business and financing of a BRT system. It will also describe
the social, environmental and economic impacts of a BRT system. The course
will engage participants in exercises for their cities regarding Bus Rapid
Transit and then evaluate the potential application of a BRT system in each
city. 
  
We hence warmly invite you to be a part of this training course. Please mail
