Travel Time Savings
-Johannesburg BRT users save on average
13 minutes each way
-The typical Metrobus passneger in Istanbul
saves 52 minutes per day
3
GHG and Local Air Pollutant
Emmissions Reductions		-In Bogota, the implementation of TransMilenio
combined with new regulations on fueld quality is
estimated to save nearly 1 million tCO2 per year
-Mexico City's Metrobus Line 1 achieved
significant reductions in Carbon Monoxide,
Benzene, and particulate matter inside BRT
buses, traditional buses, and mini-buses
4
Road Safety Improvements--
Reductions in Fatalities and Crashes		Bogota's TransMilenio has contributed to reductions
in crashes and injuries on two of the system's main
corridors
-On average, BRTs in the Latin American context
have contributed to a reduction in fatalities and
injuries of over 40% on the streets where they
were implemented.
5
Reduced Exposure to Air Pollutants
-After the implementation of TransMilenio, Bogota
reported a 43% decline in NOx and a 12% decline
in particulate matter.
-By reducing emmissions of local air pollutants,
especially of particulate matter, Metrobus Line 1
in Mexico City would eliminate more than
6,000 days of lost work, 12 new cases of chronic
bronchitis, and three deaths per year saving an
estimated USD 3 million per year.
6
Increased Physical Activity-Mexico City's Metrobus passengers walk on average
an additional 2.75 minutes per day than
previously.
-Users of the Beijing BRT have added 8.5 minutes of
daily walking as a result of the BRT systme.
