The hard copy version of this fascinating book.

Offering fast and efficient transport, and capable of incremental development, the systems have the advantage of low capital cost - and, crucially, a decision-making and construction prcoess which fits within the electoral cycle. Clearly, bus rapid transit systems have much to offer.

So how do they work? How did they come to be developed and what sort of capacities do they offer? These are some of the questions which Alan Cannell’s book on the Latin American systems seeks to answer. Extensively illustrated with over 70 photographs plus 46 maps and diagrams, the book looks at eight different systems and proposals - including both diesel and electric propulsion.
