Bus Rapid Transit 2007 Planning Guide

I know I had mentioned Kent State's Transit Waiting Environment before and may have mentioned how I was extremely disappointed with the new Silver Line stations, not only aesthetically but also because they were not designed nor fabricated in Cleveland.

Anyway.

The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy recently released their
BRT Planning Guide - June 2007 which is full of interesting case studies, diagrams, etc. I highly suggest you take a gander at this (or some of it) 824 page pdf document. Oh yeah, it is a biggie!

In it are specific examples of busways versus buslanes, how to control use, how to masterplan and how to fund as well as some infrastructure cost calculators.
