What are the costs of constructing and maintaining BRT?
Capital costs of BRT are generally thought to be less than those for light rail. The actual costs of each individual system, however, depend on the local conditions and context in which the system will be operated. Capital items include the running way (busways or bus lanes), stations, park-and-ride facilities, communications and improved traffic signal systems, storage and maintenance facilities, and vehicles. Like the capital costs, BRT operating costs vary and are dependent on factors such as the number and type of vehicles operated, service frequency, and number of stops.
