Subject(s): Online resources: Abstract: The choice between road-based, such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), or track-based, such as Light Rail Transit (LRT), urban public transport systems, is often characterized by lively debates. It is not uncommon for proponents of one option or the other to have strong opinions about why that particular option is best. This report is not about which is better of BRT or LRT, but aims to step back to help open up a discussion of knowledge claims about the choice between BRT and LRT in research and in practice.
