Comparing between Asian developing cities and
the cities with successful BRT operation, the factors that
might decelerate their BRT development are; 1) Land use
patterns: most Asian developing cities possesses urban
sprawl, resulting in low population density spreading
over an entire city area; 2) Existing city road networks:
there is no space available for further transit line development
and there is critical traffic congestion. The BRT
system alone is inadequate and almost impossible to implement
successfully; appropriate strategies to support
BRT system development are necessary.
