class="duo__content htmltext"><div><p>While the public transport system has evolved over the decades, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stands out as an artery for cities across the world. A powerful catalyst for the transformation of urban spaces, BRT provides a sustainable solution for accessible and efficient public transport, while reducing congestion and pollution.</p> <p>Today cities across the world are investing in BRT solutions tailored to the needs of their environments. The need for cleaner, more efficient urban transport has resulted in over 200 active BRT systems globally today. These systems integrate automation, prioritise dedicated bus lanes, quick boarding, and efficient fare collection, resulting in reduced congestion, lower emissions, and more accessible transport.</p> <p>The first modern BRT system was launched in Curitiba, Brazil in 1974, dramatically changing the public transport system, while creating a scalable model that was adopted globally. Fast forward to 2024 and Curitiba’s pioneering spirit is now paralleled by Dakar, Senegal, Africa’s first fully electric BRT.</p> <p>Dakar’s 18.3 km network and fleet of 144 buses are fully powered by renewable and solar energy. Expected to serve 300,000 passengers daily, in half the average commute time, Dakar’s e-BRT system is a game changer for the city, easing congestion and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Further, Dakar’s BRT is about more than just clean energy, its design prioritises diversity, equity, and inclusion.</p></div></div></div></div><div redux="true" class="duo"><div class="duo-inner h-wrapper"><div class="duo__header"><h3 class="duo__header__title h3">A shared vision and commitment </h3></div><div class="duo__content htmltext"><div><p>Both Curitiba and Dakar highlight the powerful potential of BRT in driving sustainable, inclusive urban transport. Curitiba’s system, refined over decades, offers a flexible model, while Dakar is pioneering Africa’s first fully electric BRT. These two cities demonstrate how BRT can cut emissions, improve accessibility, and offer safer, more efficient transit, creating adaptable solutions for modern cities across Africa and beyond.</p> <p>To better understand the past, present and future of BRT, we speak with two key figures; <strong>Luiz Lenz, CEO of CWBUS in Curitiba, Brazil</strong>, and <strong>Thierno Aw, CEO of CETUD in Dakar, Senegal</strong>. Their perspectives give us unique insights into how BRT systems are addressing urban challenges, expanding access and incorporating new technologies.</p></div></div></div></div><div redux="true" class="gallery h-spacer-l"><div class="gallery-inner"><div class="h-wrapper"></div><div class="h-wrapper"><div class="grid-container"><div class="grid"><div class="grid__item"><img alt="" src="https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/1024x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg" srcset="https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/160x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 160w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/240x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 240w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/320x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 320w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/480x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 480w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/640x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 640w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/960x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 960w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/1280x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 1280w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/1440x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 1440w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/1600x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 1600w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/1920x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 1920w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/2240x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 2240w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/2560x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 2560w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/2880x/--/uploads/2024/11/BRT-Project_Dakar-Photo-1.jpg 2880w"></div><div class="grid__item"><img alt="" src="https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/1024x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg" srcset="https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/160x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 160w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/240x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 240w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/320x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 320w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/480x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 480w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/640x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 640w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/960x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 960w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/1280x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 1280w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/1440x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 1440w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/1600x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 1600w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/1920x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 1920w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/2240x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 2240w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/2560x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cms.uitp.org/thumbor/fit-in/2880x/--/uploads/2024/05/oficial-2-1-scaled.jpg 2880w"></div></div></div></div></div></div><div redux="true" class="duo"><div class="duo-inner h-wrapper"><div class="duo__header"><div class="duo__header__baseline">What does the BRT system mean to your city and its people?</div></div><div class="duo__content htmltext"><div><p><strong>Luiz Lenz (Curitiba)</strong>: Our BRT system is symbolic of Curitiba’s identity and commitment to urban mobility.
