快速公交（BRT）以现代化车辆、专用公交专用道和智能交通系统（ITS）技术的应用为特征，越来越被认为是提供高质量交通服务的一种经济有效的方式。世界各地的许多城市最近都启动了雄心勃勃的快速公交系统实施计划，并取得了不同程度的成功。本文旨在概述全球快速公交系统的最新发展，并讨论当前与快速公交系统土地开发影响相关的问题和争论。它反过来考虑BRT检查技术性能、成本问题和土地开发影响的影响。本文的结论是，适当设计和运营BRT系统提供了一种创新的方式来提供高质量的运输服务，可与铁路服务相媲美，但成本相对较低，实施时间较短。与其他形式的公共交通一样，一个功能齐全的快速公交系统有可能对土地开发产生重大影响；文献综述也表明，需要更多的工作来研究这一点。
Abstract Bus rapid transit (BRT), characterized by modern vehicles, dedicated busway and applications of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies, is increasingly considered as a cost‐effective approach of providing a high‐quality transport service. Many cities across the world have recently launched ambitious programmes of BRT system implementation with varying success. This paper intends to provide an overview of the recent developments of BRT across the globe, and discusses the current issues and debates relating to the land development impact of BRT. It considers in turn the impact of BRT examining technical performance, cost issues and land development impact. The paper concludes that appropriately designed and operated BRT systems offer an innovative approach to providing a high‐quality transport service, comparable to a rail service but at a relatively low cost and short implementation time. In common with other forms of mass transit, a full‐featured BRT has the potential to offer significant effects on land development; the literature review also indicates that more work is needed to investigate this.
