Bus Rapid Transit (RTM Volume 3)
The UK Government is currently promoting the idea of bus-based rapid transit systems as a cheaper alternative to light rail. But is this a genuine attempt to deliver better value for money, or a cynical attempt simply to cut spending - in other words, knowing (in Oscar Wilde's words) the price of everything and the value of nothing?
This 57-page volume might help you make up your own mind.
We describe:
-
the technologies available
-
the development of UK busway and BRT projects
-
review the schemes currently open or being developed around the country
from Belfast and Bradford to Crawley and Kent Thamesside - the first stage of which opened as recently as March 2006.
