Abstract
There are a number of BRT planning initiatives in South African cities, beyond just Johannesburg and Cape Town. This webinar will present on a metropolitan city application and a medium-sized city application. In each case there are challenges to overcome, but both face the particularly challenging problem of overcoming the spatial legacy of Apartheid.
