Abstract

With the fast development of the tourism industry, the land transportation system at present can barely sustain the overpopulated city. Based on the merits of the cheaper investment, massive capacity, less contamination, effectiveness and the short construction cycle, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is one of the best alternatives to enhance urban transportation service levels in a short period. This study takes an example of Macau and tries to identify the features of the public transportation system as well as analyzing the existing problems. Then the study conducts an assessment of the significance of launching a BRT in Macau with respect to the underlying economic revenue and exhaust reduction. Finally, it is supported that the BRT system can effectively reduce the traffic congestion and CO2 emission.
