Welcome to Guangzhou BRT

快速公交（BRT）旨在提供媲美地铁的服务水平和运行速度，它使用的不是固定的轨道列车，而是公交车。BRT系统尤其适合快速发展的城市，因为它的建设和运营费用只是地铁系统的1/10，并且建造速度更快。

在世界范围内，广州BRT拥有以下突出特点：

首个大运量的“灵活式”BRT系统，BRT车辆可以进出走廊；
首个实现BRT站台和地铁站直接物理连接的BRT系统；
世界上最长的BRT站台；
按照设计规范，BRT站台拥有世界上最大的上客量，到了2010年，一些站点每小时将有超过4000人乘车。

在国内，广州BRT具有以下显着特点：

高峰期客流量是国内其他BRT系统的三倍以上；
首个站台设计包括自行车停车点以及公共自行车的BRT系统；
首个多于一个公交公司参与运营的BRT系统；
首个为公交乘客和所有道路使用者提供明确省时方案的BRT系统，并率先在BRT走廊内满足超过百分之八十的整体客运需求；
最大的BRT公交车队，运行初期有500辆全新BRT公交，并将购买更多的车辆。

Bus Rapid Transit or BRT aims to provide a subway-like level of service and speed, but using buses rather than fixed rail trains. BRT systems are especially appealing to cities which are rapidly growing, because they are more than 10 times cheaper than subway systems to build and operate, and can be built much faster.

Worldwide, the Guangzhou BRT includes the following notable features:
- the first high capacity 'flexible' BRT system, in which BRT buses can enter and leave the BRT corridor
- the first BRT system to include direct physical connections between BRT stations and metro stations
- the world's longest BRT stations
- the world's largest passenger boardings at regular BRT stations, with more than 4,000 boarding passengers per hour at several stations (projection) in 2010.

Within China, the Guangzhou BRT includes the following notable features:
- peak passenger flows more than triple any other Chinese BRT system
- the first BRT system to include bike parking as well as bike sharing/public bikes in the station design
- the first BRT system with more than one bus operator
- the first BRT system to provide an unequivocal overall time-saving benefit for bus passengers and all road users, and the first to meet more than 80% of the entire bus passenger demand in the BRT corridor.
- the largest BRT bus fleet, with 500 new BRT buses initially, and more being procured.
