Rapidly increasing traffic congestion, air pollution, and sprawl are jeopardising the ability of the developing world’s premier cities to achieve sustainability. These problems, present in most large urban areas of developing countries, also account for a substantial share of the expected increase in world oil use and CO2 emissions over the next twenty years. Near-term bus system improvements in these cities – before cars become dominant – could be among the most important and most cost-effective approaches for achieving transport sustainability. Compared to urban transport systems dominated by private vehicles, bus-dominated systems result in much less traffic congestion, lower energy use and emissions, and improved mobility for all social and economic classes.
