According to related regulations, the speed of BRT buses should not fall below 25 km/h and one-way passenger transportation capacity should reach between 10,000 and 15,000 people per hour. Hence, BRT system is the best solution to solve the heavy transport pressure; also, it is the best solution to solve the traffic jam in large cities, such as like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc. During rush hour, BRT system can dispatch more than 20 buses per hour to transport passengers.
