BRT Vs MRT

The document compares Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Mass Rapid Transit/Light Rail Transit (MRT/LRT) systems. It finds that a BRT system would have a total length of 348km at a total project cost of RM3.5 billion, be at-grade level, and have high coverage serving more patrons. In contrast, an MRT/LRT system would have a total length of 150km at a total project cost of RM43 billion, include 50km of underground lines, and have limited coverage still requiring feeder buses. A BRT system also allows for quicker implementation and operations within 2-3 years, private finance initiative, healthy competition for SMEs, low or no long-
