BRTs (Bus Rapid Transit) is a public transportation system that will replace railroads in the future.

BRTs seem to be actively being introduced in developing countries.

It seems that BRT is being introduced suddenly, skipping the railroads.

-----

I heard from a colleague at work that "the local railroad line was closed down, but the introduction of BRT has conversely made travel more comfortable".

Running only buses in a dedicated lane that only buses can enter (or asphalt over the route to make it a dedicated road) -- it's already the same as a railroad.

After all, they are cheap.

The cost of construction, of course, but maintenance costs are horrendously low, and the cost-effectiveness of transportation efficiency is outstanding.

What sticks out is the cost of labor. Bus stops do not need station staff.

I have heard that the "name" of "XX station" is important to the mind of those who want to keep the railroad alive, not the railroad.

Then I think we should make the BRT stop a "station house" and call it a "station".

I googled the phrase "still need a railroad."

Hmmm, "effectiveness of container vehicles" is mentioned, but wouldn't it be enough to run trucks with containers on BRT routes?

About moving containers, they offers the privilege of having the entire vehicle towed by a truck, moreover , which can then be driven on public roads.

Clearly, in places where there is no need to transport large numbers of people at once, BRT is far more palatable than trains.

In tourist areas, etc., there will be problems meeting the demand of tourists, but that is not a point of contention, since the same problems would be faced by railroads.

Conversely, during the tourist season, the BRT could operate with greater flexibility than rail, such as increasing the number of BRT vehicles or, on an exceptional basis, borrowing regular buses and incorporating them into the timetable.

CO2 emissions will soon be settled with the commercialization of electric vehicles.

I am, however, an amateur in this field.

I am sure there are many things I am missing, and I would be happy to learn about them.

However, you don't need to talk about "interests," "brands," "connections," "vote banks," and the like.

Please limit our discussion to purely technical and economic matters.
