BRT is a surface metro sy stem
that can b e del ivered at a
f ract ion of the co st of rai l .
• Segregated, median buswayswith median stations
• Pre-board fare collection andfare verification
•
Free transfers betweencorridors
• Competitively bid concessions
• High frequency service and lowstation dwell times, adherenceto set SCHEDULE
• Clean bus technologies
• Modal integration
• Identity & Image
• Incremental Development

The economics of mass transit
426 kilometers of BRT!
14 kilometers of elevated rail
Source: Lloyd Wright
How much transitdoes Php 43 billion(US$ 1 billion) buy?
7 kilometers of subway/ metro

Lessons from international experience
Lagos’ BRT Lite
Johannasburg’s Rea Vaya
Jakarta’s TransJakarta
Delhi Busway
Ahmeddabad’s Janmarg

Lessons learned
Political, governance, and planning context
Institutional issues
Meaningful public transport reform
Institutional capacity, structures, organizations
Need for identified corridors
Need for champions from various sectors
Public transport system integration
Integration with other modes including NMT is indispensable
Process begins with user needs identification, understanding of travel demand,
development of service plan, and identification of needed infrastructure

BRT planning process

Lessons learned (2)
Operating arrangements
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) manages the day-to-day operations of the system
while outsourcing different aspects of operations to qualified entities
Bus services usually provided by qualified bus operators some of which are
incumbent operators, paid on gross-cost contract
Entirely different business model!
Finance
Infrastructure provided by the government
Buses provided by operators who are paid on gross-cost contract
Recurring costs from farebox & other sources

Lessons learned (3)
Communications
Need to make people understand BRT and its benefits
Different messages for different audiences
Sense of ownership & sense of accountability
Branding
Captures and conveys BRT’s message
Represents an image and a promise
Aims to erase stigma of public transport use
There are “soft” aspects of BRT that shape its
sustainability aside from physical infrastructure.11
BRT as Public Transport Reform
Not just a new mass transit system
Creates opportunities for meaningful public transport reform
Capacity development of institutions
Integration with other public transport modes
Attainment of order from erstwhile chaos
Improvement of public transport system

BRT Development in the Philippines
Cebu City
Metro Manila
13
TransCebu
A segregated busway between Bulacao and Ayala Mall
Stations and terminals along the segregated busway route
A depot for the garaging of buses designated to operate as BRT services
An Area Traffic Control (ATC) System to facilitate priority run times within thecorridor and give city wide benefits of improved traffic flow
An open service plan that ensures that while infrastructure is limited to thatbetween Bulacao and Ayala, BRT services operate beyond this. Specifically inthe case of Ayala Mall to Talamban where bus passage will be facilitated bybus priority measures where required and where achievable within theconfines of the roadway.
Traffic management measures to improve traffic flow outside of the corridorthat are seen to complement the BRT and maximize its impact

TransCebu (2)
Parking management measures that will similarly complement BRT and
improve traffic flow
Interchange improvements to offer enhancement to the level of service
received by all public transport passengers irrespective of whether they use
BRT or not
Urban planning improvements consisting of public realm enhancements andenhanced integration of transport and land use.

Scheme Objectives
To offer significant improvement in public transport and accessibility – betterlevel of service efficiently delivered
To implement in short time period – at least start by 2016
Why Quezon Avenue
Relatively wide
High public transport use
Only two LGU’s
Integration with MRT
No major ‘issues’

• Just 1 PUB service• Operated by 25 different companies
• Consisting of 258 vehicles (50:50 A/C non
A/C)
PUB Service directlyimpacting upon thecorridor
23
Scheme Concept (Quality+Deliverability)
Work with PUV services that offer direct competition:
9 PUJ routes (361 operators and 430 units)
1 PUB route (25 operators and 258 buses)
Infrastructure where most needed: Philcoa - Manila City Hall
….. but services running from Fairview (north of the segregated
portion) to prevent the need for passenger interchange
Infrastructure within existing ‘Right of Way’
Retention of as many trees as possible.
Manage key risk elements:
Social impact
Environmental impact
Acquisition issues

Between Philcoa and Manila CityHall a high level of physicalsegregation
Underpass for express
Emphasis on key interchanges
Station spacing related to
delivery and role of residual
PUJ network
Between Philcoa and Fairview Mix with traffic
Stop improvements
25
Phased Implementation
At outset just 9 PUJ routes and 1 PUB route affected
PUJ still have a role
As congestion degrades run times of PUJ/PUB priority bus
becomes more attractive
Infrastructure upgrade at/around year 10
Additional stations Passing lanes at stations
To replace ALL existing PUV

Opportunities & Challenges for BRT in
the Philippines
Opportunities
Recognition of BRT as part of the government’s National Environmentally
Sustainable Transport (NEST) Framework
Availability of funds for planning & development
Opportunities for private sector participation
Need and desire for quicker solutions
Vibrant and lively social media
Challenges
Constant need to change people’s mindsets
Traditional preference for expensive and slow-to-implement mass transit solutions
Lack of understanding of land use-transport integration benefits
Conflicts with the private car sector28

Are we ready for BRT?
We do not inherit the earth from
our ancestors,
we borrow it from our children.
