Abstract

This report shows how the implementation of new BRT systems in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and Pereira, Colombia, and the continued expansion of the iconic TransMilenio system in Bogotá, Colombia, illustrates the continued successful evolution of the “Bogotá Model”. The report was completed following a technical tour of these three cities in February 2007, sponsored by NBRTI, the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), and Breakthrough Technologies Institute (BTI).
