Guangzhou BRT

 

Guangzhou Rapid Transit is a next-generation Bus Rapid Transit system. The first phase is expected to be operational in 2008. GRT will provide major benefits for bus and metro passengers in Guangzhou, as well as for bus operators and the general public. Commuters along the 23km phase I corridor on Zhongshan Avenue will save up to one hour in travel time each day, and the bus passenger experience will be greatly improved. With a peak ridership of around 25,000 passengers per hour in one direction, GRT will have more than double the passenger capacity of any other BRT system in Asia -- delivered at higher speeds and under better service conditions.
