Guangzhou is the highest capacity ‘direct service’ BRT in the world, TransMilenio is the highest trunk and feeder
system.
Both can be optimized. Depends on local circumstances

It was a huge fight to get this much space for stations and required intervention of the Mayor himself
![Page 7: New State of the Art BRT systems - NYU Wagner Graduate ... · New State of the Art BRT systems. Walter Hook, Executive Director, ITDP. NYU, February 2010. ... Ahmedabad Bus Rapid](https://reader034.fdocument.pub/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f09d0417e708231d4289c44/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
